Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez addressed Parliament to provide explanations regarding legal cases impacting the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). The primary focus of his testimony centered on the government’s handling of the financial rescue of airline Plus Ultra. Sánchez firmly denied any preferential treatment was given during the bailout process. He specifically stated he had no prior knowledge of actions undertaken by former PSOE official José Luis Ábalos, who is currently under investigation in connection with the case. The Prime Minister asserted the rescue followed standard procedures and was necessary to protect employment and maintain air connectivity. Opposition parties have heavily criticized the government’s actions, alleging improper influence and a lack of transparency. Sánchez’s appearance aimed to quell the growing political controversy surrounding the matter and defend his administration’s integrity.
