Corruption investigations will continue to weaken the Spanish government and result in domestic and foreign policy paralysis, while Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will seek to avoid an early general election that would result in a right-leaning government. On May 27, officers from Spain's Civil Guard's Central Operative Unit (UCO) entered the national headquarters of the governing Socialist Party (PSOE) in Madrid. The raid happened as a part of an investigation into allegations that PSOE-linked operatives attempted to interfere in judicial proceedings, pressure witnesses and discredit anticorruption investigators . The raid happened only a few days after the emergence of a separate scandal involving the 2021 bailout of the Plus Ultra airline. Authorities are examining whether politically connected intermediaries improperly influenced the approval of 53 million euros ($62 million) in public rescue funds for the airline during the pandemic.
