The 15 time bombs that failed to bring down Sánchez
Months ago, an anonymous voice —Kety Frescat— predicted a cascade of scandals that would dismantle the Spanish Government. She called them "cluster bombs". Time has proved her half right: the list of indicted and investigated figures is long, but the prime minister is still at Moncloa.
The sewer catalogue
Since then, the headlines have kept coming: Cerdán, Koldo, Ábalos, the dismissed attorney general, the prime minister's brother indicted, Begoña Gómez under investigation, Salazar's resignation, Zapatero in the spotlight, the prime minister's daughters also under scrutiny. Add to that the companies Air Europa and Plus Ultra, tainted by the kickbacks scheme. The UCO's case file, as Libertad Digital reported in June 2026, contains 15 "time bombs".
Prophecy or exaggeration?
Sceptics point out that the original prediction claimed that "Perro" —a reference to Pedro Sánchez— would not survive the third or fourth bomb. Today, the prime minister still leads the Government, shielded by a coalition that refuses to break despite everything. Even so, the volume of open cases is unprecedented even by the standards of Spanish politics.
Kety Frescat's legacy hangs in the air: her war metaphor has materialised in dozens of indictments, but the main target is still standing. Poor aim or deterrent effect? Time, and the 15 time bombs yet to go off, will tell.
