La Moncloa at center of Spanish corruption scandals
La Moncloa as the epicenter of all plots

Corruption is not a peripheral accident; it has an address. This thesis runs through analyses of current Spanish political and economic affairs, pointing directly to La Moncloa as the origin of schemes affecting ministries, public companies, and administrations. The case of the president's brother, accused of hiding his tax residence in Spain, is just the tip of the iceberg of a structure that, according to this reading, is reproduced by design.

Adamuz black boxes and the shadow of 11-M

The Adamuz train accident, with 46 deaths, has turned into a scandal over evidence management. Ten months later, the train's black boxes were found missing in a scrapyard in Dos Hermanas, and the Civil Guard discovered empty cabinets where they should be housed. Comparisons with the 11-M attacks are inevitable for those who argue that destroying evidence is not negligence but a practice with precedents. ADIF itself reportedly advises against taking trains for the next four years.

€3.539 billion in unclaimed prizes

Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, dependent on the Government, holds €3.539 billion in unclaimed prizes whose destination is unknown. The head of the agency was appointed by María Jesús Montero and held positions in the Andalusian PSOE during the ERE scandal. The coincidence proves nothing but fuels suspicion about the discretionary use of public funds.

Hidden state liabilities

The State accumulates €2.31 trillion in total liabilities, 132.8% of GDP, and hides €191.377 billion in pending payment accounts outside official debt figures. This number dismantles the narrative of budgetary restraint and places the real hole far above what public accounts acknowledge.

External census and postal voting

The Supreme Court orders the opening of Sánchez's external census black box: the ruling demands disclosure of how much of the external census growth stems from the expansion carried out under Sofía Puente's Instruction. Meanwhile, warnings arise regarding Correos' control, urging citizens not to vote by mail to avoid potential fraud. Distrust in the electoral system grows alongside these revelations.

Corporate network and citizen savings

PILOT REAL STATE, a company created by the PSOE allegedly to loot the State via the Tax Agency, had its registered office next to businesses owned by Cristian Corvillo, Pedro Sánchez's driver. Meanwhile, Ursula von der Leyen claims citizens' savings accounts pose a problem and proposes securitizing and supervising them. "They are coming for our savings," warn those who see the same extractive logic in Brussels as in La Moncloa.



The conclusion, with reservations: if ground zero is not cleaned up, plots will continue to originate there. But the evidence remains circumstantial and the outcome uncertain.
