La defensa de Begoña Gómez, wife of the Prime Minister, has requested the Provincial Court of Madrid that, if it goes to a jury trial, she be acquitted of the four charges brought against her by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, as “the facts presented do not constitute any crime.”
The National Court has agreed to the precautionary suspension of the Government decree declaring the headquarters of the Presidency of the Community of Madrid, located in Puerta del Sol, as a Place of Democratic Memory, where the Directorate General of Security was formerly installed. The resolution includes a dissenting vote
Andalusia follows in the footsteps of Aragon. Let us remember that Aragon is quite representative of the general electorate, and Andalusia, the most populous. The ruling PP falls. The moderate profiles of the party, whether Jorge Azcón in Aragon or Juanma Moreno in Andalusia, who managed…
The President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and the leader of Esquerra Republicana, Oriol Junqueras, led this Monday the presentation event of the orbital railway line in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. This is the network project that will go from Vilanova i la Geltrú to Mataró without passing through Barcelona and will have an investment from the State of 5.2 billion euros. This pact between socialists and republicans represents the first step to stage a budget agreement that, if everything is fulfilled, will be signed tomorrow.
The secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, has no doubt that the president of the Junta de Andalucía and candidate for re-election, Juanma Moreno Bonilla, will sit down to negotiate with his party to achieve the investiture and that sooner or later he will assume and accept the principle of national priority that Santiago Abascal’s party has already imposed in Extremadura and Aragón and is imposing in Castilla y León and the Valencian Community.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo has celebrated the “clear, undeniable and broad” victory of the PP in Andalusia and has already set his sights on the general elections, which are expected to be held from May next year. The leader of the PP believes that Juanma Moreno’s victory brings Spain closer to “another way of governing” and, in this regard, he has announced that, until the general elections, he will focus on promoting his political project without falling into the “distractions” of the Government, in a veiled reference to controversies surrounding Pedro Sánchez or corruption problems.
The demand from ERC regarding the management of the IRPF in Catalonia, which thwarted the previous attempt to approve the budgets of the Salvador Illa Government, has been put on hold for the moment, but, in the meantime, the republicans have tried to negotiate up to the limits of what is possible within the framework of the budget agreement to be announced this week to prepare the ground. Thus, the Catalan Tax Agency (ATC) will receive a clear boost with a specific program contract that will allow it to equip itself within a period of three years (2026-2029) with the human and technical resources necessary to assume all tax functions related to the management of the aforementioned tax for taxpayers in Catalonia.
Once the electoral scrutiny of May 17 confirmed on the night of this Sunday its poor polling forecasts in Andalusia, the PSOE leadership hurried to put forward a flood of positive elements for their interests to try to overcome the fact that María Jesús Montero, with only 28 seats, broke through the historical low of the socialists in what was once their impregnable stronghold.
Juanma Moreno harbors few doubts and seems to bet on governing “alone” despite having lost the absolute majority in the Andalusian regional elections. The president of the Junta de Andalucía and PP candidate for re-election lost five seats and was two short of the absolute majority, a result he considers “sufficiently decisive” to avoid having to incorporate Vox into the government.
María Jesús Montero, until a few weeks ago vice president of the Government, will resign her seat as a deputy in the Congress and will take her seat in the Andalusian parliament when it is constituted.
