The revelation about the hiring of Sánchez's brother that sets off the alarm

David Sánchez obtained the position after a questioned process that excluded candidates with more experience and better qualifications.

The hiring of Pedro Sánchez's brother as coordinator of conservatories in Badajoz caused criticism from the start of the process.

David Sánchez obtained the position after a questioned process that excluded candidates with more experience and better qualifications.

The coordinator position was created shortly before the announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province (BOP).

The position was published on May 19, 2017, just 15 days before the process closed, with few dissemination mechanisms.

David Sánchez, without an official Spanish degree or work experience in Extremadura, was the only one to receive the highest score.

According to the submitted documentation, his CV included studies in Russia and experience in musical direction, but with questionable data.

Judicial sources revealed that the process included a key personal interview, but the questions were neither recorded nor standardized.

The Badajoz Provincial Council, governed by the PSOE, highlighted the interview as a decisive factor, but there are doubts about its impartiality.

David Sánchez claimed he discovered the announcement online, something the opposition deemed unlikely due to the limited dissemination.

The judge in charge of the case highlighted that other candidates had more suitable profiles but received lower evaluations.

Documents show that Sánchez was rated with the highest score in areas where he had no objective advantage.

The Provincial Council defended Sánchez's hiring, arguing that he met the required merits and passed the evaluation.

The PP denounced that the position was tailor-made, pointing out that the publication in the BOP was insufficient to ensure access.

In 2017, the opposition warned that the position might have been created exclusively to favor the brother of the socialist leader.

The criticisms also included the collateral damage to other candidates who relied on an objective selection process.

The Provincial Council assured that the process was transparent, but the detected irregularities fueled the debate on favoritism.

Evaristo Valentí, conservatory director, expressed that the selection criteria were unclear and lacked objectivity.

Some sections in which Sánchez received high scores raised doubts due to the lack of explanation from the evaluators.

Sánchez's CV included merits such as studies in Saint Petersburg, but opponents questioned the veracity of some data.

The opposition demanded explanations from the Provincial Council and called for reforms in selection processes to prevent favoritism.

The doubts about the hiring process continue to generate tension in Extremadura and damage institutional credibility.

This case reignited the debate on the need to ensure merit and transparency in Spain's public institutions.

The hiring of David Sánchez remains under judicial investigation and public criticism from the opposition.
