The PP Will Take the Socialist Fontanera to the Senate Who Maneuvered Against the UCO Economic Crime Chief – Pledge Times
- The Popular Party will summon Leire Dez Castro to the Senate's Open Research Commission for allegedly orchestrating a campaign against the UCO chief Antonio Balas.
- Suspicions arose after a video published by El Confidencial showed Dez and associates trying to obtain compromising data on the Economic Crime department head.
- Dez met via videoconference with businessman Alejandro Hamlyn and others, attempting to secure information and offering to intercede to avoid his condemnation.
- Hamlyn said, "I need to know what happens to my theme," during the meeting where Dez reassured him about party intervention.
- The PSOE denied payroll links to Dez, calling the accusations defamatory and signaling possible legal actions over reputational harm claims.
