The piece criticizes the current level of public corruption, noting that it involves high-ranking officials within the PSOE and the government led by Sánchez. It references the case of SEPI, where President Belén Gualda is under investigation for alleged fraud in the rescue of Tubos Reunidos. Over twenty officials from SEPI and other state companies are implicated in a corruption network led by Cerdán and Leire Díez, with collaboration from others such as Antxón Alonso. The article describes this as a 'capillary' form of corruption starting at the top and affecting lower levels, forcing technical staff to follow illegal orders. It cites specific cases involving Red.es and Barrabés, which received contracts investigated by European prosecutors. The article concludes by calling for greater judicial independence.
