The 'president' of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, has stated that he observes with "weariness" the moment the PSOE is going through due to "so many corruption scandals that affect the Government of Spain," although he has insisted on the need to "let justice work first" before drawing "conclusions."
This was stated this Wednesday, in statements to the media, after participating in an event organized by 'El Confidencial' in Valencia. His words coincided with the day on which the judge of the Audiencia Nacional (AN) Santiago Pedraz decided to indict the former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán, the party's manager, Ana María Fuentes, and the former Vice-President of the Junta de Andalucía Gaspar Zarrías in the case investigating former socialist militant Leire Díez.
These indictments came to light after members of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Guardia Civil entered the national headquarters of the PSOE, located on Ferraz street in Madrid, early this morning.
When questioned about these events, Pérez Llorca indicated that he is following them "with great concern" and expressed "a certain weariness" at the fact that citizens have to witness "so many corruption scandals that affect the Government of Spain." He then stressed that "justice must also be allowed to work."
"Today the news is very worrying, but I believe that in three, four, or five days the judges will draw their first conclusions and, therefore, they will have to be evaluated," he stated. "It is true that this week, first everything that has been seized from President --José Luis Rodríguez-- Zapatero, then this week the trial of the brother of the President of the Government also begins, and now these searches in the PSOE headquarters make us worried, of course," he insisted.
However, the head of the Consell clarified: "But I believe that justice must be allowed to work and then, when we have more content or its first conclusions come out, we will also draw our own."
