Judge says Sánchez knew of 'colacas' scheme

Judge points to Sánchez: 'the one' was aware of the 'colacas'

The judicial investigation into the corruption network surrounding the PSOE has taken a dramatic turn: the investigating magistrate directly names Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as being aware of the allegedly irregular operations. The term 'colacas', used in the summary to designate collaborators of the 'entourage', and the reference to 'the one' — an alias that, according to sources close to the case, could correspond to Sánchez — place the head of government at the center of the storm.

'The one' and the 'colacas': key elements of the summary

The internal jargon of the scheme leaves no room for doubt. 'The one' appears in intercepted conversations as the person who gave the green light to the most delicate operations. The 'colacas' — a term referring to those responsible for executing the maneuvers — acted under his orders. The judicial order, revealed by ABC newspaper, argues that Sánchez could not have ignored the activities of his closest circle. ABC’s front page last Thursday was historic: "Sánchez knew of the colacas' maneuvers" occupied the main headline.

The suplicatorio: the battle in Congress

The next procedural step points to the Supreme Court. To formally indict Sánchez, the judge must request a suplicatorio (parliamentary authorization to lift immunity) from the Congress of Deputies, where the investiture majority could block it. However, media and judicial pressure is growing. Several analysts suggest that if Parliament denies the suplicatorio, Spain could enter an unprecedented institutional crisis. The circulating question is whether coalition partners will maintain their support for Sánchez or begin to distance themselves.

The Israel factor and international connection

One of the most striking aspects of the case is the reference to Israel. Messages in the investigation indicate that the recognition of the Palestinian State by Sánchez's government would have angered Tel Aviv, which reportedly held sensitive information about the scheme. "You don't play with Israel," commented a social media user regarding the news. The hypothesis that foreign intelligence services might possess compromising data adds a geopolitical layer to the scandal.

The immunity dilemma and media civil war

While the PP and Vox demand Sánchez's immediate disqualification, Socialist ranks insist on the presumption of innocence. But the debate goes beyond legal matters: some warn that citizens are "calm in their ignorance," but that "something is going to happen." The possibility of a motion of censure or even a referendum on the monarchy — as a response to a hypothetical indictment — looms over the atmosphere. The uncertainty is whether the state machinery will manage to contain the earthquake or whether we will witness a crisis that changes the political board.

What no analysis fully explains is why, despite these revelations, Congress still hasn't activated any control mechanisms. The floating question is whether 'the one' will end up answering before justice or if, as in other occasions, the 'saber-rattling' will amount to nothing.
