The ruling socialist party of Spain has forbids members to pay for sex workers after large corruption scandals. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the new rule on Saturday and said that everyone caught “asking or accepting sexual acts for money”, according to an AFP report immediate deportation.

This is when his party is confronted in seven years his worst crisis. The scandals include accusations of corruption against Santos Cerdán, the former right hand of Sanchez, which was imprisoned on Monday for alleged bribes for building contracts.
Secret -recordings also caught civil servants about discussing bribes and sex workers. Sanchez apologized for the trust of the wrong people, but refused to stop and said, “The captain does not leave the ship during storms”.
The corruption scandal revolves around Santos Cerdán, who reportedly took bribes from companies that wanted government contracts. Before his arrest, the police found proof that he discussed illegal payments with José Luis ábalos, a former transport minister.
One committed company, Servinabar, mysteriously switched from event planning to construction immediately after winning a tunnel project of € 76 million. Leaked audio tires revealed civil servants who made raw comments about women and sex workers during these deals.
Cerdán denies everything and claims that he is the victim of “political revenge” for helping Sanchez to gain power. In the meantime, the scandal has become an investigation into the wife and brother of Sanchez, although they deny misconduct.
Only a few hours before Sanchez's big speech on Saturday broke out another scandal. Francisco Salazar, a top fellow for promotion, resigned on claims for sexual harassment.
Several women accused him of making inappropriate comments about their bodies, inviting them to private -dinners and ask someone to sleep at his house. Salazar says that he cannot “not remember” such behavior, but has been taken pending research.
In the midst of the chaos, Sanchez replaced the official Cerdán in prison by Rebeca Torro, a 44-year-old lawyer. The party also promised anonymous whistleblower channels and less power for top officials to prevent future corruption.
Opposition leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo called the socialists a “mafia” and demanded new elections. His Conservative People's Party (PP) recently attracted tens of thousands of thousands for anti-government protests.
Even some socialists such as Castilla-La Mancha Governor Emiliano García-Page insisted on Sanchez to keep a vote of trust: “I don't know if we would win”. Spain is confronted with political unrest that is no longer seen since the return to democracy 50 years ago.
