Overview

• At a PP event in Pamplona, Miguel Tellado said Navarra could be where they “start to dig the grave” of a government that “never should have existed,” tying the region to alleged “moral and economic corruption” linked to Santos Cerdán and demanding explanations from regional president María Chivite.
• Pedro Sánchez called Tellado’s words an insult to families with relatives in mass graves and an appeal to violence, as the PSOE urged Feijóo to disavow the statement and seek an apology.
• Feijóo defended skipping the opening of the judicial year, calling it a “bochorno” that state prosecutor Álvaro García Ortiz, who is processed over alleged revelation of secrets, addressed the event at the Supreme Court.
• Tellado asserted the “real” start of the judicial year for the PSOE will be Wednesday, when Begoña Gómez is due to appear in court as an investigada in a case alleging malversación, and he forecast further movement in cases involving the attorney general and the ‘Koldo’ network.
• Sharpening its message on irregular immigration, the PP is pressing a tougher line while publicly rejecting xenophobic rhetoric, with Feijóo insisting the party will comply with the law, including the redistribution of unaccompanied minors.
