President Sánchez's Brother Goes on Trial, and His Hirer Shows He's Capable of Anything, Gaining Parliamentary Immunity in Less than 24 Hours
- David Sánchez, sibling of Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is scheduled to stand trial in Badajoz on charges of influence peddling and prevarication related to the creation of a public position in 2017.
- The case arose after PSOE Extremadura leader Miguel Ángel Gallardo created a coordinator role for music conservatories that appeared pre-assigned to David Sánchez.
- Investigations revealed David Sánchez teleworked from Portugal without an office in Badajoz and the selection process did not meet constitutional transparency requirements.
- The judge found sufficient evidence to proceed and issued the oral trial opening, while Sánchez and Gallardo registered as deputies shortly before trial, delaying the proceedings.
- This trial intensifies legal scrutiny on Pedro Sánchez’s close circle, fuels opposition criticism, and raises questions about PSOE leadership in Extremadura.
