Sánchez defends and rewards Ángel Víctor Torres despite his connection to the 'Koldo case'
Sánchez's gesture of defending Torres is a sign of the little tolerance he has for suspicions of corruption within his party.
Pedro Sánchez has once again given his support to Ángel Víctor Torres, Minister of Territorial Policy, in his reelection.
Sánchez joined Torres at the XV Regional Congress of the PSOE in the Canary Islands, where he was reelected as secretary general after registering his candidacy.
Torres's reelection occurred without internal opposition. Since he was the only candidate, which strengthens his power within the party in the region.
However, Sánchez's support has caused criticism, as Torres is linked to the controversial "Koldo case," related to alleged acts of corruption.
The "Koldo case" has been a controversial topic in Canarian politics, questioning Torres's transparency in his management as a socialist leader.
Despite the questions, Sánchez has shown unwavering support for Torres, stating that the criticisms he receives are "lies and hoaxes."
This type of defense by Sánchez has been seen as an attempt to protect a key member of the PSOE, despite the serious accusations.
The President of the Government, by supporting Torres, gives the impression that he prefers to maintain the party's internal unity over transparency.
Doubts about Torres's integrity persist, and his connection to the "Koldo case" has only fueled criticism within and outside the PSOE.
Sánchez's gesture of defending Torres is a sign of the little tolerance. That he has toward suspicions of corruption within his party.
This support could be seen as an attempt by Sánchez to maintain control over the PSOE in the Canary Islands. Regardless of the shadows cast over Torres.
Many have pointed out that by backing Torres, Sánchez sends the wrong message about corruption, downplaying the seriousness of ongoing investigations.
The "Koldo case" remains a thorn in Torres's side. His reelection hasn't managed to calm citizens' concerns about his management.
Criticism is mounting, as it is perceived that Sánchez is prioritizing the party's interests over the ethical principles that should prevail.
Meanwhile, Torres has tried to deny the accusations, but doubts about his involvement in the "Koldo case" persist, affecting his credibility.
This support from Sánchez only fuels the internal debate within the PSOE. Where some are calling for greater transparency and accountability.
Torres's reelection, instead of representing a victory for the PSOE, has become a symbol of the party's tensions and contradictions.
By not taking a clear stance on the accusations against Torres, Sánchez could be weakening public confidence in his management and leadership.
The "Koldo case," far from being solved, remains an uncomfortable issue for the PSOE, with its connection to Torres tarnishing the party's reputation.
