The “Spain case” continues to make headlines worldwide. A few weeks ago, the firm stance of the Spanish Government against the start of the Iran war became a reference point. It seemed like the brave culmination of a calculated strategy to distance itself from the postulates and demands of the President of the United States, Donald Trump. The head of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, was on the rise, seeming to dare to say what other European politicians remain silent about.

The Spanish political landscape is always shifting, but the vibration is special these days. There are pieces that may fall to the ground. In this context, La Vanguardia interviews Arnaldo Otegi, leader of EH Bildu, the most stable and silent ally of President Pedro Sánchez.

The presiding judge of the instruction court number 41 of Madrid, Juan Carlos Peinado, held this Tuesday afternoon the preliminary hearing with the parties of the case of Begoña Gómez, the wife of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. This is the step prior to the order to open the oral trial that will seat the accused on the bench for the crimes of influence peddling and embezzlement, and her assistant, Cristina Álvarez, who is only charged with the second crime.

The Attorney General of the State, Teresa Peramato, has raised her voice today before King Felipe VI to denounce the “systematic disqualification” suffered by the Prosecutor’s Office and its prosecutors for doing their job. Her speech comes at a tense moment between the judiciary and certain political leaders due to the disqualifications of certain members of the judiciary.
