The conviction of David Sánchez, brother of the Prime Minister, to nine years of disqualification from public office “as the author by necessary cooperation of a crime of administrative prevarication” has immediately prompted a reaction from the PP. Alberto Núñez Feijóo has stated that the sentence issued by the Badajoz Court demonstrates that “no one” is “above the law, no matter whose family they belong to.” “It speaks well of our Rule of Law and should comfort all Spaniards,” he said in a message through social media.

The entry into force of the agreement between the European Union and Great Britain on the future of Gibraltar settles the last unresolved issue following Brexit, the United Kingdom’s departure from Europe six years ago.

The Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard warns that the PSOE would have used “front” companies to pay Leire Díez coinciding with her ‘plumbing’ work for the party and that they are being investigated by the National Court.

La Audiencia de Badajoz has issued a sentence condemning David Sánchez, brother of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, to nine years of disqualification. David Sánchez, who will not go to prison, was tried in early June for the crimes of malfeasance and influence peddling along with ten other people accused of having secured a job at the Diputación de Badajoz, that of coordinator of the conservatories, created to his measure by the then president of the entity, Miguel Ángel Gallardo.

Behind the French anger with Rajoy is the PP’s blockage of the Spain-France friendship treaty

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, expressed this morning his surprise at how the Popular Party is conducting its relations with Spain’s neighboring countries, particularly with France.

El Partido Popular already managed to provoke the irritation of the governments of Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron, by blocking a week ago in the Senate the friendship treaty that both leaders sealed at the Hispano-French summit held in Barcelona on January 19, 2023. And now some controversial words from former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy – in which he pointed out that the French national football team is playing the World Cup, in his opinion, “without French players” – have the effect of lighting a match on a barrel of dynamite.

Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has requested Begoña Gómez, wife of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, to justify within five days that she used the passport only for the trip that the court itself had authorized, that is, to fly to the United Kingdom for her daughter’s graduation.

Reagrupement National, party of the French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, labeled former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy as “racist” this Monday for his comments that the French national football team has “a very high level, that is true, without French players,” emphasizing that these are comments that “everyone should condemn.”

The PP has downplayed Mariano Rajoy’s words about the French national football team, which will face Spain this Tuesday in the World Cup. The former Prime Minister said on Friday that France has “a very high-level squad,” but “without French players,” words that the PP relativizes because they were written in a column in El Debate in a “sarcastic” way and “without bad intentions.”
