Former Spanish Prime Minister Felipe González has publicly called for current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to either resign or call for new elections following a Supreme Court sentencing involving former minister José Ábalos. González cited a need for “political responsibility” in light of the ruling, details of which were not specified in the provided text. He also directed criticism towards another former Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, urging him to return jewelry gifts valued at 1.3 million euros. These gifts, received previously, are now under scrutiny. González’s statements represent a significant intervention from a prominent figure within the Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), of which both Sánchez and Zapatero are members. The call for action suggests growing internal pressure within the party related to the legal issues and perceived ethical concerns. The situation raises questions about the stability of Sánchez’s government and the future direction of the PSOE.
