The ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) did not alter the dynamics of recent months, during which former president Carles Puigdemont has stayed away from the spotlight. Jordi Turull, secretary general of Junts, pointed out that Thursday’s script – only he and lawyer Gonzalo Boye spoke – was designed not to raise expectations… Although the ruling was labeled a “resounding victory,” “it is not definitive,” they argue. And on the political front, everything remains frozen while waiting for the former president’s future to become clear, with the PSOE watching closely the next moves of the post-convergents.

Vox would obtain today a minimum of sixty deputies in a general election, according to the latest published polls. They are at the 18% mark, almost six points above the results obtained in the general elections of July 23, 2023, from which this…

Not even in their best forecasts did the independence movement believe that the European court’s ruling on the amnesty law would be so clear-cut. The delaying maneuver by the Spanish judges – not only the Supreme Court – has been challenged by the setback dealt by the…

The Amnesty Law was the key to the start of this legislature, which ends with the endorsement of the EU Court of Justice. That law deepened the confrontation between a part of the judiciary and Sánchez’s Government. Now, Minister Félix Bolaños claims the effects of the amnesty and demands that it be fully applied as soon as possible.

The slow digestion of the Amnesty law has received a European tonic this week, an herbal liqueur from Luxembourg. An unequivocal ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has endorsed the law approved by the Congress of Deputies on May 20, 2024, and sealed by the Spanish Constitutional Court on June 26, 2025.

With the endorsement of the European justice system for the amnesty, the secretary general of Junts, Jordi Turull, raised a glass of cava on Thursday before the party leadership: “May the next toast, here or on Mallorca street, be made by the president and the consellers.” Junts has become accustomed to…

The judge in Madrid who will try Alberto González Amador, partner of the Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for tax fraud has communicated that given the “overload and circumstances weighing on the Court” the date for the trial is still pending, once the opening of the oral trial was already agreed upon for September 2025.

The Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard suspects that the former organization secretary of the PSOE Santos Cerdán handled cash money outside his bank accounts. However, it has not been able, or at least for now, to find those five million euros in kickbacks that Supreme Court magistrate Leopoldo Puente mentioned when he sent him to unconditional prison a year ago.

In the midst of political turmoil in Madrid due to the recent conviction of the brother of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, or the case related to his wife, Begoña Gómez, the European Commission draws attention to Spain for the “limited progress” in fighting high-level corruption cases and calls for a national register of lobbyists. It does so in its annual report on the Rule of Law, where, although it recognizes certain advances in processing major cases, it highlights “limited progress” in strengthening the rules on conflicts of interest and officeholders in executive functions, and warns that measures against corruption or the regulation of “lobbies” have not yet yielded the expected results in Spain.

The Director General of the Civil Guard Mercedes González has denied having participated in the plan promoted by the former PSOE organization secretary Santos Cerdán and the party’s so-called ‘plumber’ to destroy judicial cases affecting the party and the environment of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.
