PSDEG chooses Chairmela Silva president, affected by a case of corruption, in the presence of Pedro Sánchez

The Galician Socialists have chosen this Wednesday at its 14th Congress, with 81.47% of the votes and in the presence of Pedro Sánchez, the more than 50 members of their new Executive Committee, which will be chaired by Carmela Silva, president of the Diputación de Pontevedra, and involved in a case of corruption sentenced by the Supreme Court.

Silva, a historic Galician socialism, is subjected to an increasingly narrow fence on the part of the opposition, which claims its resignation after having confirmed the sentence of an official of the Vigo City Council for Urdir a plan to hire secretly To his sister-in-law.

La Sala II of the Supreme Court has ratified the penalty of five years and three months of prison imposed by the Audience of Pontevedra to Francisco Javier Gutiérrez Orúe, head of participation and citizen attention at the town hall presided over by Abel Caballero and in which Silva is Councilman and Lieutenant Mayor. The sentence is imposed by a continued crime of prevarication in a medial contest with a crime of embezzlement and another of falsehood in mercantile document.

The PP considers that behind this condemned official "there is an interested political decision" for hiring the sister-in-law of the President of the Diputación to which, in addition, the amount of 108,000 euros was paid for some work that did not do.

The Popular accuse the PSDEG of "Seeing the other side" in this case of corruption, to the point of not finding any impairment to elect Silva as president of his new executive, an appointment that has been confirmed on Wednesday in the presence of the president of the Government.

Pedro Sánchez has taken advantage of the closure of the Congress of the Galician Socialists to take precisely chest for the "exemplarity" of his government compared to the "corruption" of the executive of Mariano Rajoy, whom he himself, touched through a motion of Censorship that "regenerated the country".

In addition, he has accused the popular party "do not comply with the Constitution and damage democracy". Something, Sánchez has said, "unforgivable" in times of crisis like those who are lived behind the pandemic of the Covid-19. On the contrary, he has placed the "vanguard of what is to come in Europe" and has claimed to represent with the management of him "the most genuine" of the Magna Charter and the "plurality and diversity" of Spain.

The president has made a long review of all the achievements that scores on his government -pessions, minimum wage, minimum vital income, erte, scholarships, law of euthanasia, housing- to conclude that socialists "better manage the economy" than conservatives . In his establishment he has pointed out the net creation of 750,000 jobs and a figure of contributors to social security higher than that was recorded before the pandemic.

Sánchez has also shown his pride at the level of vaccination against the Covid who has reached the country and has considered that now, to cope with the increase in cases by the omicron variant, it is enough to apply the recipe of more vaccines and more masks. "Science and prudence", he has said repeating the central phrase of the argument made by the Moncloa.

The Chairman of the Government has ensured that in terms of vaccination and fight against the pandemic, Spain is "the mirror in which European societies look at" and has given for fact that one example will be an example with the children's vaccination program between five and 11 years old.
