Spanish socialists, in power, will expel anyone who will resort to prostitution, PSOe announced on Saturday, in a difficult situation because of several scandals, AFP reports.
“The request, acceptance or obtaining of a sexual act from a person in exchange for a reward” will be punished with “the greatest sanction, namely the expulsion from the party”, it is stated in a statement of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) broadcast on the occasion of the meeting on Saturday, in Madrid, of a federal committee, which also announced the formation, which also announced the formation.
“If we seem to see that the body of a woman is not for sale, there can be no place in our party for contrary behavior,” explained the Secretary General of the Party and Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez.
The meeting of the Federal Committee started late on Saturday due to the resignation of Francisco Salazar, a close collaborator of Pedro Sanchez who was to join the new party leadership. The news site eldiario.es reported about complaints from socialist women who accused him of “inadequate behaviors” with a sexual character when he was their superior.
A shaking party of scandals
During the meeting, the party restructured the leadership of the party. The Spanish policy was shaken by the placement in preventive arrest, on June 30, of the former number three of PSOE, Santos Cerdan, in a bribe in exchange for public works and the services of some prostitutes.
Santos Cerdan is replaced by the number three of Rebeca Torra, a 44 -year -old lawyer who has held various positions within the Valencia Regional Government and the central government.
“No doubt, there are difficult days for everyone,” the prime minister recognized during his speech before the federal committee, again asking for “forgiveness” because he trusted people suspected of corruption.
Pedro Sanchez has excluded any resignation. “The captain does not give in to the difficulties. It remains to face the storm,” he said, after which he presented “thirteen additional measures intended to prevent, fight and sanction corruption.”
The investigation that led to the incarceration of Santos Cerdan also involves the former Socialist Minister of Transport, Jose Luis Abalos.
The two politicians were key figures in Pedro Sanchez's ascension to the PSOE leadership, until his arrival in power in Spain. Already affected by the judicial investigations aimed at his wife, his brother and prosecutor of the country, the prime minister crosses the most complicated period since his coming to power in 2018.
