The 'Leyre case' court file reaches the press with accusations pointing at the PSOE

Journalists now have in their hands the court file informally known as the 'Leyre case', as has come to light in recent hours. The content, described as "red hot" by those who have seen it, includes direct mentions of the party's Ferraz headquarters and of one Aldama, a figure who already appears in other proceedings linked to the party's irregular funding.

Reactions were not long in coming. While some expect significant judicial moves within 72 hours, others argue the leak will have no real consequences. What nobody disputes is that the corruption fan has been switched on again and is splashing everyone in the party, from the janitor to the leadership.

The leak shaking up Ferraz

The court file, which some see as the definitive proof to declare the PSOE a incivil organisation, arrives at a moment of maximum political tension. The images shared on social media — an overflowing toilet at the Ferraz headquarters — sum up the mood: "shit coming out everywhere". The press sympathetic to the Government, according to the sharpest comments, does not know how to absorb the blow.

Among the details already made public, the direct connection between Aldama and the party's funding stands out. One user asking for the download link to the document gives a sense of the anticipation. The million-dollar question is whether the courts will act with the same estimulante ilegal as in other cases, or whether, as usual, the official narrative will try to divert attention.

What now?

With the court file out in the open, the ball is in the court of the judiciary and the Public Prosecutor's Office. Public opinion, fed up with promises of regeneration, hopes that this time it will not be mere media noise. The story of the 'Leyre case' is only just beginning, and the coming hours will be decisive in determining whether the scandal becomes a political conviction or another chapter in eternal impunity.
