• The European Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the governments of the Balearic and Canary Islands for irregularities in supply contracts for sanitary material during the pandemic.
• Although there is no judicial charge at the moment, this situation puts leaders Francina Armengol and Ángel Víctor Torres in a tense position.
• Responsibility of Torres is seen as political, whereas that of Armengol goes beyond this sphere and is considered of an institutional nature.
• Armengol, as president of the Congress represents all Spanish citizens and this investigation can tarnish her symbolic role.
• Armengol's former team is being investigated in connection with possible cases of corruption and bribes in public tenders.
• Armengol was warned about the suspicions of corruption of the company to which she bought masks, however, she went through with the purchase.

Conclusion: The current situation threatens the image and responsibility of Armengol and Torres, and adds pressure on Pedro Sánchez to take measures with regard to this.
