The PP’s Deputy Secretary of Autonomous Policy, Local Affairs and Electoral Analysis, Elías Bendodo, has denounced that "the hand of sanchism, of sanchista corruption" has ended up affecting "what should be sacred and untouchable, which is the security of women," after it became known that the European Public Prosecutor’s Office keeps open an investigation into alleged fraud in the use of EU funds for the acquisition of telematic anti-mistreatment bracelets.
The popular leader has described both these European inquiries and the appearance of the UCO of the Guardia Civil before the Court of Auditors to obtain data on donations to the PSOE as "very serious," and has lamented that "we are going to have daily scandals" when "less than 20 days remain until the elections."
"I believe that this torment and this shame that all Spaniards go through in seeing case after case of corruption has to end," Bendodo said in statements to the media in Málaga, accompanied by the candidate for the Senate for the province, Mario Cortés, and by the mayor of the capital, Francisco de la Torre.
In relation to the European investigation into the contracting of anti-mistreatment bracelets, he has argued that "it’s not that the PSOE has dropped the equality flag; it’s that it has clearly trampled on it" and he has underlined that "sanchista corruption reaches the Ministry of Equality as well."
Regarding the action of the UCO of the Guardia Civil at the Court of Auditors to analyze certain donations to the PSOE, Bendodo has insisted that "it is also very serious" and he has stressed that "these two things happened this morning."
"Corruption reaches the Ministry of Equality, investigated by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the Guardia Civil enters the Court of Auditors to see the origin of the donations to the PSOE," the PP’s deputy secretary has reiterated, warning that "these are today’s scandals which I’m already telling you will be covered up by tomorrow’s scandals."
