Former socialist militant Leire Díez wrote several references to "Pedro Sánchez", "P.S." or "president" in her diaries in various notes, where she mentions, among other things, the alleged influence that "P.S." would have had in the "control" of an editorial line or a "meeting".
These references appear in one of the notebooks seized by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard and incorporated into the summary of the 'Leire Díez case', which Europa Press has accessed, within the cause being investigated by the National Court into the alleged plot led by Díez and the former Organization Secretary of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, to stop or condition judicial proceedings that could affect the party or the Government.
In that diary, corresponding to the year 2025, Díez wrote the term "president" on two occasions following the leak to the media of Whatsapp messages between Sánchez and the former Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, currently in prison and awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling for alleged irregularities in the acquisition of sanitary material.
In one of those notes, the former militant writes: "UCO has all the whatsapp between the president and Ábalos. They have tried to whitewash it by saying there was a confidant, but they haven't given the name. The PP is behind it and the one who brings it all out is Gordillo Moreno. He brings it out and releases that information in Congress."
Notes on messages and "PSOE Operation"
On the following page, Díez returns to the same subject: "The messages between the president and Ábalos have been intercepted and there is a deputy who boasts about it," she writes in the notebook.
In those notes, there are also several mentions of "PS". "When Joseph disembarks at Prisa, he reaches an agreement with P.S. The editorial line is set by PS and the strategy by Joseph," reads one of the passages. On the same page, the former militant mentions a "meeting with PS" and a "PSOE Operation," to which she adds: "We tried to contact the PSOE for two years and only when Begoña's thing happened did someone receive us."
The name "Pedro Sánchez" appears expressly three times. In one of them, he notes it alongside other names such as "Santos Cerdán", "Marlaska" or "José Luis Rodríguez". In another, he heads a list titled "Diligencias JL Ábalos. Descartados", above "Carmen Calvo y Santos Cerdán". In a section that Díez titles "Rubén Villalba", referring to a civil guard investigated in the 'Koldo case', he writes: "Relationship with Pedro Sánchez".
Díez also records the name "Pedro" in two notes: "Pedro does not trust the DAO. He lights a candle to Satan and another to Jesus Christ. She can leak it" and "Medioneuronal: Pedro hires that lawyer".
Moncloa rejects any link with Díez
After part of these mentions became known, Moncloa sources "categorically denied any meeting between President Pedro Sánchez and Leire Díez" and referred to Sánchez's own words last Friday in Montenegro, emphasizing that he "has never known, endorsed, or been informed of Díez's comings and goings, which he would never have tolerated".
In that appearance, the head of the Executive maintained that he had no prior information or knowledge of the activities attributed to the former militant. "I never endorsed, I never had information, nor did I ever have knowledge of something that I would never have tolerated," he stated when asked about the messages and notes from Díez seized by the UCO, in which she suggests that Sánchez might be aware of her dealings to allegedly hinder judicial investigations affecting the PSOE and the Government.
In one of those messages, sent by Díez to the former president of SEPI Vicente Fernández, it reads: "Yesterday the one told S to tell me that I am doing a huge job and that I should not give up", to which he replies: "I am glad he thinks so. Others hide, you show your face".
The UCO specifies in a report to which this agency had access that "the references made to 'S' are considered to be made to Santos Cerdán and, on the other hand, those made to 'el one' would be to the President of the Government".
