Leire Díez offered a pact with the Prosecutor’s Office to the former number 2 of the Interior Ministry to uncover Operation Catalonia: “The machine was forced”

Now, the Audiencia Nacional has uncovered these dealings and found a large amount of audio material because Díez recorded those clandestine meetings, where she offered agreements with the Prosecutor’s Office and claimed to be the emissary of the PSOE and the Government to “put themselves on the right side of history.”

Gorka Otxoa (San Sebastián, 1979) premieres Ni contigo ni sin mí, a comedy directed by María Ruiz, with Manuela Vellés, Cristina Maisonnave, and Iván Sánchez as co-stars. “The first stage of grief is denial and this man is deeply immersed in it.

The Paris prosecutor’s office is investigating suicides among the prime minister’s staff

The French government bureaucracy has experienced two years of great stress since the controversial dissolution of the National Assembly in June 2024.
