The saga promises to worsen in the coming weeks. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is currently engulfed in a massive wave of overlapping scandals. The case is being called as the "Socialists' Watergate"
High Court judges are investigating allegations that party operatives orchestrated a covert "dirty tricks" or mudslinging campaign to impede, misinform, and derail judicial proceedings against the government. Independent investigators are reviewing whether operatives were paid to dig up dirt or run targeted smear campaigns to intimidate or discredit judges—such as Judge Peinado and Judge Biedma—who are actively leading the corruption cases against Sánchez's inner circle.
The broader crisis surrounding Sánchez is driven by a series of high-level criminal cases. The head of the Civil Guard (police force) was placed under investigation for official misconduct in favor of Sánchez. His wife is in trouble too and unable to leave the country. His brother faced trial and was banned from public office following an investigation into tax fraud, embezzlement, and nepotism regarding a customized public job. His former Transport Minister was sentenced to 24 years in prison for a pandemic-era face mask procurement kickback scheme.
Regarding "illegal votes", the case is tied to a fierce legal battle over the "Grandchildren Law" (Ley de Nietos), which expanded citizenship pathways for descendants of Spaniards living abroad. The Supreme Court of Spain provisionally suspended parts of this law affecting the Electoral Census of Absent Residents.
Opposition groups filed complaints, claiming the law was an engineered scheme by the PSOE to manipulate the electoral register by inflating the CERA vote with hundreds of thousands of overseas citizens who have never lived in Spain. In public discourse, this heavily contested expansion sparked claims and political narratives about fraudulent registration and "dead people voting."
Also the former Prime Minister, Zapatero, is under a judicial cloud over alleged money laundering and influence peddling related to an airline bailout.
Antisemitic woke system is collapsing in real time in the Americas and Europe.
