The minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function and secretary general of PSOE-M, Óscar López, has railed this Tuesday against the sentence imposed on David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, assuring that there is "a lot of bad politics behind it and no real justice".
López has spoken out in several messages disseminated on social networks after the resolution of the Provincial Court of Badajoz became public, which imposes a penalty of special disqualification for employment or public office and for the exercise of the right to passive suffrage for nine years on David Sánchez.
In the same case, the former secretary general of the PSOE of Extremadura and former president of the Provincial Council of Badajoz, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, has been sentenced as the author of two crimes of administrative prevarication, also receiving two penalties of special disqualification for employment or public office and for the exercise of the right to passive suffrage for a period of nine years.
Faced with this scenario, the socialist leader has maintained that Spanish democracy "deserves more respect" and that "there is no reason to condemn David Sánchez". In his opinion, "the mere processing before the criminal jurisdiction of a matter that could only have been processed before the contentious-administrative jurisdiction breaks with the past and opens a very dangerous precedent for the future".
López has also linked this procedure with the one that concluded with the conviction of the former Attorney General of the State Álvaro García Ortiz and with the case opened regarding the president's wife, Begoña Gómez, assuring that they are "what they seem".
In his final message, the minister insisted that "there is a lot of bad politics behind it and no real justice. It seems incredible in a European and fully democratic country in the 21st century. But it is happening. Unfortunately".
