Spain’s Ruling Party Bans Members From Hiring Sex Workers: Backlash and Debate
In response to a corruption scandal involving kickbacks and sex workers, Spain’s Socialist party has implemented significant changes. A new policy now bans party members from paying for sex, with violations leading to expulsion. This move comes amid the detention of a former high-ranking official and a leadership shake-up, including the replacement of Santos Cerdan by Rebeca Torro. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has apologized for the scandal, but has vowed to stay in power despite growing criticism from the conservative opposition.
