David Sánchez, brother of President Pedro Sánchez, resigned from his position in the Diputación de Badajoz.
The Government is positioning itself as a defender of the president's family, attributing David's resignation to the 'harassment' and 'persecution' of the 'far-right pack'.
The Badajoz judge suggests that Sánchez's role was created specifically for him.
After his resignation, the Diputación - helmed by Miguel Ángel Gallardo, also charged - announced it will open up the position for competition.
David Sánchez's resignation increases suspicions of preferential treatment, an assertion that will ultimately be determined by Justice, not the Government.
Conclusion: The Government is positioning itself as a defender of the president's family while there are suspicions of possible favoritism and deferences, particularly in relation to the president's brother. It is important these points are thrashed out through legal channels and the truth established.
