He has also alluded to "people who have had high responsibilities such as organizational secretaries of that party", thus alluding to former minister José Luis Ábalos, who was PSOE's Secretary of Organization.

The requests for appearances begin, but evidently today is only the beginning," Gamarra added when asked again if Sánchez will not be on that first list of appearances. "Anyone who has to give an explanation will come here to give it and as long as they are not given, obviously everyone is susceptible to being called," she concluded.
