The Government has announced that President Pedro Sánchez will present significant anti-corruption measures during a session in Congress scheduled for Wednesday. Following recent controversial events, including the resignation of former Secretary of Organisation Santos Cerdán, confidence among parliamentary groups remains fragile. Government spokesperson Pilar Alegría stated that the proposed measures will incorporate essential requests made by coalition partners, aiming to strengthen accountability in public and private institutions.

Amidst these developments, Francisco Salazar has been dismissed from his role at Moncloa due to allegations of sexual harassment. Alegría asserted that the Government acts with transparency and diligence in criminal matters, emphasising the importance of encouraging victims of harassment to report incidents via confidential channels. This dismissal reflects the Government’s commitment to address serious issues without delay.

In other news, the Ministerial Council has appointed Jordi García Brustenga as the new Secretary of State for Industry. He previously held the position of Director General of Industrial Strategy and Small and Medium Enterprises. His appointment comes at a crucial time as the Government seeks to advance the new Industry and Strategic Autonomy Law currently in parliamentary process.

These changes highlight the Government’s aspiration to bolster both its anti-corruption policies and the efficiency of the industry sector, reinforcing their message of accountability to the citizens of Spain.
