In a somber press conference, Sánchez expressed regret over trusting Cerdán, stating, “There is no such thing as zero corruption.” Cerdán is set to testify over claims of kickbacks in public contracts. With the opposition, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, rallying for Sánchez's resignation, he insisted on continuing his political agenda until the next election cycle in 2027. Amid rising tensions, he criticized the right-wing for launching smear campaigns against his leadership, recognizing the need for accountability within his party. His coalition's stability remains uncertain, especially with calls from deputy prime minister Yolanda Díaz for more transparency.

As allegations swirl, Sánchez’s position is precarious, pressing him to navigate between political integrity and coalition solidarity in a country grappling with corruption issues.
