The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is trying to overcome the emotional impact of corruption revelations related to former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

The situation has left the party without energy and emotionally devastated.

Socialist federations have remained silent, while Moncloa and Ferraz have tried to counteract with lawfare.

However, reality has prevailed and the party is seeking a way to survive until the next regional and municipal elections.

Territorial leaders express their concern about the situation and the need for the party to recover its self-esteem and dignity.

A report by the Economic and Financial Crimes Unit (Udef) reveals that several Spanish companies, including Plus Ultra, used ex-president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to obtain public aid.

Investigators found that the companies contacted Zapatero through an intermediary and managed to get him to commit to helping them obtain public funds.

Udef considers this action an example of corruption and is investigating the involved companies.

The news has generated surprise and concern among the Spanish public opinion.

The president of the Basque Nationalist Party (PVN), Aitor Esteban, has requested explanations from Pedro Sánchez after the indictment of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

Esteban has warned that it is difficult for Sánchez to complete the legislature due to the lack of direction, budgets, and stable majority.

The PVN has escalated its criticism of the judicial scandals that suffocate the socialist president politically.

The party has established key points of its position before the faltering Sánchez government, which they support in the Congress of Deputies.

Esteban has rejected the argument about 'lawfare' as a judicial barrier against the former president.

The Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit (Udef) of the Police has identified former President Rodríguez Zapatero as the leader of a criminal network that trafficked in influences within the State Administration.

Seized emails reveal the operation of false invoices and simulated jobs.

Zapatero's secretary, Gertrudis Alcázar Jiménez, executed orders directly dictated by him.

The former Prime Minister is charged with influence trafficking and money laundering in the National Court.
