Motion of censure
The roller coasters of Spanish politics do not rest. Now it is José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero who is descending vertiginously. The order from the judge of the National Court José Luis Calama, made public this week, states that the former Prime Minister (2004-2011) must undergo a thorough investigation for an alleged crime of influence peddling and money laundering in the management of the bailout of the airline Plus Ultra during the pandemic.

(Until 2015, the term was accused, but the Criminal Procedure Law was modified in favor of softer language). Accused or investigated, Zapatero is currently on the conveyor belt of public scandal. Felipe González, his great adversary in the PSOE since Zapatero promoted the reform of the Statute of Catalonia, called the order “impressive” yesterday and said he felt “great sadness” for what is happening.
