The former number two of the PSOE between 2017 and 2022 and current government delegate in Asturias, Adriana Lastra, has emphasized this Thursday that the PSOE "has nothing to hide" after the search carried out by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard at the federal headquarters in Ferraz. She insisted that it is "a clean party" that is collaborating with the justice system and emphasized that "the stability of the Government is assured".
In statements to journalists, Lastra remarked that "the Socialist Party is collaborating with the justice system at all times" and added that "everything requested has been handed over because this party has nothing to hide," alluding to the request for documentation issued on Wednesday by the investigating judge.
When asked about the possible impact of this investigation on the continuity of the Executive, the delegate reiterated that "the stability of the Government is assured" and rejected speculation about an early election, emphasizing that "elections in this country are held every four years." "We still have one year until the general elections and this government will continue to govern until the last day, because they are also doing things well," she pointed out.
Finally, when questioned about the Socialist Party's support for former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Lastra expressed her confidence in the work of the courts and stressed that "no one is above the law, but no one is also below their rights."
