The former SEPI chairman and the sensual allegations involving journalists
Without any official confirmation, social media is awash with allegations linking the former chairman of Spain's SEPI (the state-owned industrial holding company) to sensual encounters with journalist Chiqui Montero and another woman identified as Leyre. The supposed evidence consists of screenshots of private conversations that no media outlet has verified. The former official, who headed the state holding company during the previous Socialist government, has not commented on the accusations.
The allegations are part of a series of leaks affecting several politicians and businesspeople. A section of public opinion holds that these revelations are part of a smear campaign orchestrated from within the current government's circle. However, the lack of reliable sources and the nature of the evidence — mere screenshots — invite skepticism.
The target's silence and the absence of independent journalistic investigations leave the case in the realm of rumor. The open question is whether these accusations will turn into a political scandal or remain an anecdote of digital dirty tricks.
