Overview

  • The Supreme Court opened abbreviated proceedings against Fiscal General Álvaro García Ortiz for allegedly revealing secrets tied to the tax fraud case of Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner.
  • Ministers Óscar López and Pilar Alegría defended Ortiz’s integrity and denied any Moncloa instructions, calling the processing unjustified.
  • The Guardia Civil’s UCO cloned electronic devices and seized data during a court-ordered search of former transport minister José Luis Ábalos’s Valencia residence over alleged public works kickbacks.
  • The PP has stepped up pressure on Sánchez by urging his coalition partners to withdraw support and advancing a Senate reform to mandate monthly presidential appearances.
  • The European Commission criticized Spain’s Ley de Amnistía before the EU’s top court, warning the measure could breach union law and intensifying international scrutiny.
