The lawyer for Pedro Sánchez’s brother speaks loud and clear: “They can’t persecute you just because you share surnames with the President of the Government!”

He has left several headlines and reflections to take into account. So much so that Echeniquewho was initially somewhat skeptical that everything was legal and that it fell within the normality in relation to Sánchez’s appointment to the aforementioned position, has come to backtrack: “After listening to Emilio, I am considering certain things, to be honest.” “Come on, man, with what you said before…”, Mejide reproached him.

And it is that Emilio Cortes He has pointed out aspects such as that there is nothing illegal in calling for a position in three days, which is one of the aspects that the media is focusing on the most. “Let’s see, if we look even under the carpet we might find some irregularity but of an administrative nature, not a criminal one,” he said, just as he wanted to emphasize a detail for him that was “revealing”: “Of eight people who attended that public square, no one appealed the resolution, I don’t know. I also believe that if that vacancy had been for a man who lives, I don’t know, in Zafra, someone anonymous, neither you nor I would be talking or telling you this about the fact that it was called in just three days.

Risto Mejide told him that it was still somewhat strange that a profile like that of the president’s brother attended that employment in Badajoz“someone who has nothing to do with Extemadura.” For this, Cortés has pointed out that “any person who is looking for public employment offers, as happened to me at the time, to my university classmates, the normal thing is that you enter the BOE daily or subscribe to specialized media where they refer those vacancies that are announced. That’s how it is. There’s nothing strange about it. In my time I would have gone to Finisterre if it had been necessary.

UCO research

Regarding the UCO researchthe lawyer has ruled that “fortunately, you cannot blame or condemn someone just for thinking badly and that the UCO has not found anything that indicates certain influence peddling in the thousands of emails they have analyzed.” Given all the commotion that has been organized, Manuel Cortés has declared: “Because he is the president’s brother, doesn’t he have the right to run for a public position?”

Emilio Cortés has taken advantage of his intervention in the space of Four to report certain situations that your client is experiencing. Thus, he has condemned that in the media “his wife, and even his daughter, who is a minor, have been named. They have persecuted him, they have been at the doors of the house he has in Portugal, the one in Extremadura… This is a rule of law and this type of situation should not occur. And I tell you more, and that is that I defend Sánchez, who, as you will see, I am not shy at all, but who defends his daughter? It is okay that you have to endure an accusation temporarily, but not that they persecute you for sharing surnames with the President of the Government.

Regarding work absenteeism, another of the facts that refer to the professional practice of Pedro Sánchez’s brother, Cortés has said that this “is not a crime in Spain.” He has pointed out that the work activity of David Sanchez It is more than demonstrated in emails where he details what he was dealing with as well as with images of press conferences, events and rehearsals that have been carried out during this time.
