Page says there's "no dignified way out" for Sánchez and believes there's "much more to be learned."

The President of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has stated that the Prime Minister and leader of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Pedro Sánchez, is in a "bunker" that is a "grave" and from which "there is no dignified way out," and he predicted that "there is still a lot to discover."

In an interview with Cadena Cope this Wednesday, the Socialist leader from Castilla-La Mancha spoke for the first time about the UCO report that points to the alleged bribery of former PSOE organizational secretaries Santos Cerdán and José Luis Ábalos.

García-Page stated that the latest news has "destroyed him internally" and opined that the information that "most worries" Pedro Sánchez "isn't even in the newspapers today," although he ruled out the possibility that the party would be involved in a case of irregular financing because "the last thing on their minds was the PSOE who was asking for money."

"I sincerely believe there is no way out. The dramatic thing, what generates impotence, is that there is no dignified way out," he lamented.

Asked about the letter to the membership sent by Sánchez this Tuesday, he indicated that he does not know if he has received it and noted that in the first of those letters sent by the national president, sent in April 2024, he decided to opt for a "strategy of isolation" because he knew that "what was coming was difficult."

For Page, Sánchez is "bunkered down" and the oxygen is being provided by government partners "who are primarily shareholders" and who are going to make it increasingly expensive, placing him in a "dead end labyrinth." "He depends on the nationalist far right as an alibi to continue maintaining the wall and depends on the oxygen provided by the pro-independence far right," he warned.

He lamented that the PSOE is facing a "serious credibility crisis" and that "playing the victim no longer holds water." Regarding a possible critical internal mobilization within the party, he said that "it is prohibited" and that he is not "in any race or succession," nor does he have "organizational ambitions."

"I wish that for a long time, many more people who later appear would have expressed their disagreement with obscenities like the amnesty," he said of his party colleagues.

Asked about the possibility of the Socialist deputies of Castilla-La Mancha breaking with the party and supporting a motion of no confidence, he stated that they would not do so on his instructions and stated that "the political solution in Spain must come democratically."
