The Other Contract Sánchez's Brother Was Pursuing

The Prime Minister's brother remains in the eye of the storm. The name of David Sánchez Pérez Castejón, brother of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, is once again making headlines. Recently, it was revealed that Sánchez's brother allegedly attempted to secure a contract at Teatro del Liceu, subsidized by the Government.

The musician allegedly managed an agreement with the Gran Teatro del Liceu, a state-subsidized institution, with the aim of promoting operatic productions in the Legislature de Badajoz.

According to emails analyzed by the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard, Sánchez maintained direct communication with Valentín Oviedo, general director of Liceu, to finalize the terms of the agreement.

In a message sent on October 9, 2023, Sánchez formally proposed the possibility of collaboration to Liceu. In his communication, he highlighted the importance of having the support of a long-standing institution to strengthen operatic development in the region. This, according to OkDiario.

Later, the Barcelona theater sent a proposal establishing lines of cooperation for the joint planning and execution of cultural activities.

Agreement Between Legislature de Badajoz and Liceu for Opera Promotion

The agreement signed between Legislature de Badajoz and Gran Teatro del Liceu establishes the provincial institution's commitment to project various operatic broadcasts in its spaces. This, with special attention to the young audience.

Meanwhile, Liceu will be responsible for promoting opera in various designated venues, as well as facilitating access to its digital platforms for viewing the agreed performances. Additionally, the agreement seeks to bring this artistic genre closer to the youth population, fostering their interest in music and operatic culture.

This Was the Position Created for a Former PSOE Councilor to Help Sánchez's Brother

Pedro Sánchez's brother is once again at the center of controversy. This time, it involves a former socialist councilor. It was in 2023 when Legislature de Badajoz created a new position within the Culture area.

All this with the aim of managing and administratively coordinating the music conservatories. It is surprising since it was a task that until then fell to Sánchez's brother. The person selected to perform this function was Martín Serván Corchero, an experienced former PSOE councilor in Badajoz.

In statements to El Confidencial, he defended the need for this position. He argued that the conservatories have historically faced administrative problems since the teachers lacked knowledge in areas such as budgets, regulations or fees.

The judge investigating David Sánchez has focused on the creation of this position. The fact is that she suspects that Legislature may have exempted him from certain responsibilities. All to allow him to focus on an opera project, his main interest.

This position was named Head of Service for Coordination and Administrative Management of Music Conservatories.

Additionally, it was occupied by Serván Corchero, who had previously appeared on the PSOE list in the 2019 municipal elections. Even securing a seat in the Badajoz City Council.

The magistrate, head of the Investigative Court number 3 of Badajoz, is not only investigating the creation of David Sánchez's position in 2016 and its award in 2017. She is also investigating the possibility that Legislature reduced his duties to allow him to focus on his personal interests.
