In the network of corruption that has been born under the “pants” of Sanchismo, it matters so much what is seen and what is not seenand also that which is blurred by the screens that cover the reality behind. Next, with an obligatory critical perspective, is the battle of the leaks led by two of Pedro Sánchez’s faithful soldiers, José Luis Ábalos (the former minister) and Koldo García (the lieutenant of the former minister), because they open a new political front that is not limited to the judicial scope of the case and shifts the focus to its strategic drift.
No less important is the fact that the selective dissemination of messages, conversations and partial versions It responds, in some cases, to an economic transaction in favor of the owners of the information with which they are now marketing. That supporting lawyers and not being able to dispose of the alleged smuggled money greatly complicates the sustainability of the domestic financial framework.
In any case, this marketing, or prostitution of the secrets of the trinquedoes not diminish the relevance of the information, but it is interesting to know its existence to understand well what those who were in the core of the president’s “body guard” are up to and what those who continue to be part of the core of Sanchista power fear.
In your transaction, Koldo lets its secrets be revealed depending on what may interest the buyer the most.
Abalos, However, it is more selective, as if with its operation it was seeking a effect that rebounds more directly on the president of the Government. In any case, these movements introduce a natural logic of pressure on the number one, leaving implicit, in turn, the message that there were shared decisions, dynamics of political trust and an operating model that exceeded the actors that are now under scrutiny.
The protagonists of the photo that we saw yesterday on the bench, in the first session of the so-called “mask case”, have stopped appearing as exclusive authors and have begun to present themselves “as pieces of a larger gear, with a shift from individual behavior to structural responsibilityl”, they lament in the Andalusian socialist federation. And the unofficial PSOE is concerned that this trial, and those to come, confirm every day (and the road to the cross will be long) the existence of a circuit of power rotten by corruption and based on personal trust, political proximity to the leader and poor internal oversight. And, when asked the question of who appointed, who supervised and what controls failed?, all the answers lead to the same name, that of Pedro Sánchez, who will once again be the electoral captain of the party, this time in the Andalusian Ragnarök.
abalos He was not a peripheral minister. He was Secretary of Organization of the party, a man of maximum trust and a central piece in the political architecture of the Executive. His fall cannot be interpreted only as that of an individual position, no matter how hard Sánchez’s official spokespersons try, but as that of someone located in the center of command.
Therefore, when leaks now appear that suggest a shared environment of decisions or knowledge, the effect is amplified, but not because direct involvement of the president is established, which is not even necessary, but because The direct blow goes against the solidity of the control mechanisms within the Government itselfestablished, these yes, by Sánchez. Koldo’s role It also introduces a more uncomfortable element by evidencing the existence of informal channels of influence. Their political proximity, their access to decisions and their relevance in the leaked conversations once again reinforce the idea of an operation based more on personal trust than on institutional procedures. The result is a political framework in which these two protagonists, already removed from power, act as bidders of a fragmented truth that hits the PSOE like a cluster bomb.
«The photo of the bench reveals the fragility of systems based on personal loyaltieswhich is what is killing us. When these loyalties are broken, the accumulated information becomes an instrument of pressure and what was previously internal cohesion becomes public exposure. This transformation turns former allies into autonomous actors who, by defending themselves, question the structure that elevated them and their boss,” is heard in the Andalusian organization.
