Socialists between corruption and sexual harassment.
Embattled Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, like many leftist leaders, is buried up to the neck in corruption investigations involving his family, his closest advisors and top officials in his Socialist Party.
Sánchez stood his ground all through 2025, while the clamor for his resignation or for early elections echoed across the country.
Now, the pressure is coming from his own allies, too.
The Socialist Party is getting crushed by a deluge of sexual harassment scandals.
Mayors, regional leaders and even people from Sánchez prime minister’s palace are having to resign – and the PM is getting the message: change or call elections.
Politico reported:
“The scandals are also provoking major fractures within Sánchez’s coalition government and parliamentary alliance, with even his most reliable collaborators demanding he make major changes — or call snap elections.”
PSOE under Pedro Sánchez is collapsing under sexual harassment scandals.
Francisco Salazar, Antonio Navarro, and José Tomé face multiple accusations while the party failed to act for months.

Both the far-leftists from Sumar and the Basque Nationalist Party have warned the PM: either Socialists stop the scandals, or ‘snap elections’ must be held.
“Spain’s Socialists are no strangers to scandal, having spent the past two years dealing with endless headline-grabbing revelations detailing the alleged embezzlement of public funds by former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos and party boss Santos Cerdán — both of whom maintain their innocence.
Sánchez has so far weathered the storms by insisting the corruption cases are limited to just a few bad apples, and arguing that only his government can keep the country on a socially liberal track.”
“But the scale of the sexual harassment scandals revealed in recent days — which have coincided with anti-corruption raids in government buildings — represent an unprecedented challenge for the prime minister. There are serious doubts that Sánchez’s ‘stay-the-course’ playbook will suffice to see his government through this latest political earthquake.”
Sánchez came to power in 2018 saying he led ‘the most feminist government in history’. Yeah, right…
“Sánchez’s attempts to contain the situation don’t appear to have quelled indignation over the party’s failure to address Salazar’s alleged abuses, and the frustration has resulted in a version of the #MeToo movement within the Socialists’ ranks.”
