In a recent court case, a defendant claimed that Spain's Prime Minister was 'at level one' in a scheme aimed at rigging public contracts. This accusation has sparked significant controversy.
The allegations come at a time when the ruling Socialist party is already facing internal turmoil, which has strained its relationship with the far-left coalition partner, Sumar.
Additionally, the coalition's ties with various fringe and regional separatist parties, whose support is crucial for passing legislation, are reportedly under pressure due to these developments.
