At the Congress of Deputies, Vox leader Santiago Abascal delivered a blistering attack on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over severe corruption scandals rocking the Socialist circle.

During a parliamentary session on June 24, 2026, Abascal's most actionable and striking confrontations included:

• Demanding Resignations & Elections: Abascal berated Sánchez for clinging to power amid ongoing judicial probes into his family and political circle. He told Sánchez he lacked a "minimum iota of shame" and demanded the immediate calling of clean elections.
• Election Tampering Fears: Abascal accused the Prime Minister of engineering a scheme to manipulate the upcoming elections using the vote from Spaniards residing abroad, leading to a fiery debate where Sánchez pushed back against the accusations.
• Citing High-Profile Convictions: The Vox leader referenced the corruption case against former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos and asked Sánchez how he could still sit on the government bench.
