Guardiola Accuses Moncloa in Explosive Gallardo Scandal

Extremadura's President Guardiola Accuses Moncloa of Orchestrating Gallardo Case Extremadura, Spain – María Guardiola, President of the Junta de Extremadura, has launched a scathing attack on the national government, alleging that the recent aforamiento (immunity from prosecution) granted to Miguel Ángel Gallardo, leader of the Socialist Party in Extremadura, was orchestrated from Moncloa. In an exclusive interview with ABC, Guardiola stated, "Estoy convencida de que el caso Gallardo está diseñado desde Moncloa." (I am convinced that the Gallardo case is designed from Moncloa.) The Gallardo case, which involves allegations of fraud, has become a national scandal. Guardiola believes the aforamiento demonstrates the PSOE's decline, stating, "simboliza la decadencia del PSOE." (it symbolizes the decadence of the PSOE.) She called for a full investigation into the matter. Guardiola's comments are likely to intensify the political tensions in Spain, particularly given the timing of the interview, coming just two years into her term as President. The interview took place at the Presidential headquarters in Mérida, a city rich in Roman history, highlighting the contrast between the ancient past and the contemporary political turmoil.
