Spain's People's Party (PP) announced plans to summon current Social Security Minister José Luis Escrivá and other officials before a Senate inquiry committee regarding allegations against former president José Luis Zapatero. The investigation centers on Zapatero's alleged illegal involvement in the Plus Ultra airline bailout and collection of irregular commissions during the pandemic. PP spokeswoman Alicia García criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for treating Zapatero's defense as a state matter, but ruled out filing a censure motion without guaranteed partner support.
