Spanish Journalist Denies 'Plumber' Accusations in Exclusive Interview

Leire Diez, a journalist and former socialist activist, recently found herself at the center of a media storm. Dubbed the "plumber" by some outlets, Diez vehemently denies the accusations. In an exclusive interview before her court appearance, she stated, “Leire Diez is not the plumber. I am a journalist who until yesterday was a socialist activist. I thought it wasn't incompatible." Diez's resignation from the PSOE adds another layer to the unfolding controversy. She explained her decision to resign, stating, "I'm going to eliminate the factor that everyone has used, and Leire Diez is a journalist." The interview provides a crucial counterpoint to the media narrative, highlighting the importance of verifying information before drawing conclusions. The ongoing legal proceedings will likely shed further light on this complex situation.
