A recent hearing in Badajoz has brought to light the controversial expression “very brother”, first referenced in the context of David S\u00e1nchez and his role within the Badajoz Provincial Conservatories. Witness statements from former directors have revealed insights into the accusations surrounding the circumstances of S\u00e1nchez\u2019s hiring and the creation of a coordinator position that many claim was anomalous.<\/p>\n
Evaristo Valent\u00ed, who was the director of the ‘Bonifacio Gil’ conservatory in 2017\u2014the year S\u00e1nchez was hired\u2014made notable statements during the proceedings. Valent\u00ed indicated that he had heard rumors suggesting that David S\u00e1nchez was vying for a position that ultimately went to a relative of the President of the Government. He mentioned an email containing the term \u201cel herman\u00edsimo,\u201d suggesting a connection to S\u00e1nchez, although he did not find it significant at the time.<\/p>\n
Valent\u00ed expressed his discontent over the coordinator position itself, describing it as unnecessary and outside the established legal framework. \u201cI needed a piano teacher, not a coordinator,\u201d he stated, emphasizing his concern over the creation of this role. Nonetheless, he later acknowledged that S\u00e1nchez\u2019s professional qualifications aligned perfectly with what the position required.<\/p>\n
Mar\u00eda del Rosario Mayoral, who took over the conservatory directorship after Valent\u00ed (from 2020 to 2025), also shared her perspective. She confirmed that she had not heard the “very brother” rumors before S\u00e1nchez arrived. This admission echoes Valent\u00ed’s remarks, as both seem to hold a common belief regarding the credibility of the rumors before S\u00e1nchez\u2019s employment.<\/p>\n
Despite the accusations against him, both Valent\u00ed and Mayoral noted that the coordination role was beneficial for their conservatories, providing necessary support for the growing workload. However, both directors admitted that formal coordination meetings with David S\u00e1nchez were infrequent, raising questions about the effectiveness of the new position.<\/p>\n
Yolanda S\u00e1nchez, head of the ‘Juan V\u00e1zquez’ conservatory, also contributed to the dialogue. She recollected an email from May 2017 that contained the “very brother” nomenclature, suggesting a connection that she initially dismissed. She noted that Valent\u00ed was the one who tied that reference to David S\u00e1nchez but lacked clarity on whether S\u00e1nchez had applied for the job or if the position was indeed intended for him.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1nchez also pointed out that although there were whispers of David’s name being circulated, she believed his role effectively addressed the conservatories’ workload challenges.<\/p>\n
The president of the Court, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Patrocinio P\u00e9rez, has frequently urged the parties to concentrate on the factual elements of the case. His insistence on maintaining a structured approach indicates the serious nature of the proceedings and could have lasting implications for all parties involved, including David S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n
As the case unfolds, the relevance of these testimonies could play a crucial role in determining whether the controversies linked to S\u00e1nchez\u2019s hiring are substantiated or simply rumors lacking credible evidence.<\/p>\n
