The politician from Sumar was forced to resign after being accused of sexual assault, which created a new setback for the Government. Despite an internal investigation conducted by the party, the vice president maintained her support for the politician, even appointing him as parliamentary spokesperson and assigning him significant tasks within the party.
The scandal reveals internal tensions between two ministers of the Spanish Government, Yolanda Díaz and Mónica García, who represent different factions within the coalition. Their disagreements have led to public confrontations and have called into question Díaz's leadership in Sumar.
The accusations against the politician also highlight a clear confrontation within the coalition, with divisive decisions on how to address cases of sexual harassment. While García expressed her dismay at the accusations and supported the alleged victims, Díaz has been criticized for having protected the politician despite knowing about his behavior for some time.
The announcement of the politician's resignation has not only intensified internal disputes within Sumar, but has also left a void in formulating the coalition's new political strategy. The leaders of the party face crucial decisions about the future of the party and the direction they will take regarding the management of cases of harassment and abuse.
The scandal has exposed discontent and division within Sumar, as well as latent tensions among its members. Uncertainties about the succession of the resigning politician and the future direction of the party have raised doubts about the stability and cohesion of the coalition at a crucial moment of political restructuring in Spain.
