Senior officials will appeal the decree that allows the husband of a socialist leader to be appointed Treasury Director

On July 30, 2026, high-ranking Spanish state officials announced they intend to challenge a controversial decree that allowed the appointment of Pablo Sánchez-Blanco as Director General of Treasury. The decree modified a law to include an exception enabling non-A1 level career officials to hold such positions. The Federation of Associations of Senior Civil Servants (Fedeca) has decided to explore legal actions against the royal decree approved by the Council of Ministers. The controversy centers on whether Sánchez-Blanco qualifies under the new exception, which was specifically crafted to allow his appointment despite his lack of A1 status.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the conflict between high-ranking officials and the government over the legality of the decree.
