The Supreme Court has just lifted the precautionary measures imposed on businessman Víctor de Aldama, so he will be able to start traveling abroad to continue with his business. This was agreed by the Chamber that sentenced him to four and a half years in prison for corrupting the then Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and his advisor Koldo García.

The European Commission says it has received the complaint against Spain filed by the former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, in response to the maneuver by the Court of Auditors not to directly apply the Amnesty Law, but refrains from making any comment on the matter. The Community Executive has also reiterated that it is aware of the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) on the amnesty law, but that “it is up to the relevant courts to apply the rulings of the Court of Justice.”

In contrast to what happened last summer, when the management of forest fires intensified the political clash between the central Executive and some autonomous communities governed by the Popular Party, such as those of Madrid or Castilla y León, Pedro Sánchez and the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, both socialists, agreed this Wednesday on the importance of coordination and joint work between the different administrations, “shoulder to shoulder”, to fight against fire and the consequences of the climate emergency. The mayor of Tamajón (Guadalajara), Eugenio Esteban, of the PP, also thanked this collaboration between administrations, during the visit that Sánchez and Page made to the advanced command post installed in this town to combat the La Mierla forest fire, which has already devastated more than 32,000 hectares and has become the largest in Castilla-La Mancha.

The defense of former president Carles Puigdemont filed two complaints against Spain before European bodies on Monday in response to the refusal of the Court of Accounts to apply the Amnesty Law to the thirty former high-ranking officials of the Catalan administration from whom the expenses of the ‘procés’ are claimed. The auditing body, once the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) was known, which responded to the preliminary questions it had raised in 2024, reactivated the case and instead of applying penal oblivion, opened a ten-day period for the parties to present arguments and provide documentation proving the origin of the funds allocated to the 1-O referendum and the foreign action of the Generalitat.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo on Wednesday reviewed the political year that has ended and declared the legislature over at a time when the government’s weakness in Congress practically prevents the approval of laws and corruption cases surround Pedro Sánchez’s political and personal circle. In response, the PP leader promised a “national reconstruction” government that would restore “decency” to Spain, make the country “work again” with economic and social reforms, and ensure that “working is worthwhile.”
