Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy
this week denied allegations that his Peoples Party ran a corrupt slush fund
financed by corporate donations. The allegations have led to calls for Rajoy’s
resignation, but so far the Prime Minister has refused to step down or to
answer questions about the allegations. The scandal surrounds allegations by
former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas that the Prime Minister was one of the beneficiaries
of a secret slush fund run by the party and financed by big business.
Barcenas has given details of the fund to a national court judge. This week
details of the secret ledgers of the party for two decades were revealed in
court. This the most serious corruption allegation yet against Rajoy but the
Peoples Party majority in congress has allowed it to stonewall all attempts to
get a parliamentary inquiry.
