20.06.2025 ⇢ Day Police Raided the Ruling Party
⌨
The UCO executed court-ordered raids on PSOE headquarters at Ferraz street and the Transport Ministry to clone email accounts of Santos Cerdán and former minister Ábalos. The Civil Guard's anti-corruption unit accessed servers throughout the morning, marking an escalation from parliamentary chaos to direct judicial intervention in the ruling party's operations.
Cerdán attempted to delay his Supreme Court testimony scheduled for Wednesday, citing the "volume" of case materials, but the court formally charged him and rescheduled his appearance for June 30th. The corruption network expanded to regional levels, with reports that Navarra's president Chivite awarded nearly 8 million euros in public housing contracts to Cerdán's company.
By evening, Trump responded to Sánchez's NATO defense spending rejection, warning that "NATO will have to deal with Spain, known for paying little." La Razón reported socialist phones were "burning" as party members searched for someone to lead a potential revolt against Sánchez.

⌨The newspapers report on escalating corruption investigations affecting both national and regional governments. María Chivite faces mounting pressure over contracting her uncle's company twice, with media calling this "the plot that could end her government" as Sanfermines begins amid multiple resignations and investigations (El Mundo, Libertad Digital). The PSOE's "plumber" allegedly recorded the judge investigating Aldama, adding a new dimension to the corruption probes (La Razón). Meanwhile, Barclays and Santander compete in a last-minute race to acquire Sabadell's UK subsidiary, with offers due by June 27th (El Confidencial). Government coalition partners express discomfort with PSOE's handling of corruption cases while rejecting new elections, pressuring for action against corrupt companies (infoLibre).

11:20⇢Cerdán Seeks Court Delay
⌨The newspapers report on Santos Cerdán requesting to postpone his Supreme Court testimony scheduled for Wednesday, citing the "volume" of the Koldo case materials (La Razón, 20minutos). This development threatens Sánchez's legislature as the PP begins considering a no-confidence motion viable while coalition partners grow suspicious of the prime minister (RTVE). El País reports on PSOE figures purged during Cerdán's era defending their party contributions against the alleged corruption network, with Adriana Lastra and others maintaining "heads high" while calling for accountability from those responsible. Meanwhile, Sánchez communicates to NATO that Spain will not increase defense spending further and considers the 5% target unreasonable (La Marea). In separate developments, the Supreme Court orders the Franco family to return two stolen statues from the Pórtico de la Gloria (El Salto), and Renfe convenes its board to establish Rodalies de Catalunya on Wednesday (El Periódico).
