Antoni Bassas' analysis: "Spanish justice is facing a mirror today."

Being right is good, but it can be sad. This is the case with what's happening in Madrid today. They organize that event at the Supreme Court –incidentally, in the same room where the Proceso trial was held– where the judicial year is being declared open. A solemn act in which the Attorney General of the State will appear while he is being prosecuted for the leak of some emails about Ayuso's partner, and an act which Feijóo will not attend, in his capacity as leader of the opposition, precisely in protest because the Attorney General of the State goes.

There is no evidence that the emails were leaked by the Attorney General (he is one of about twenty people who could have done so, but it hasn't been proven). In any case, considering that the Attorney General is appointed by the government, his prosecution (a completely unusual event) was a success for the PP in its fight against Sánchez, a fight as relentless as it was powerless, until now. And all this, the same week that the Prime Minister said that there are judges who play politics. In short, Feijóo doesn't show up, first saying he has an event with Ayuso at the same time (a regrettable excuse), and then saying he doesn't want to upset the King (even more regrettable). Feijóo never finds the right tone, but he is especially strident when he acts as if he were a leader of the eternally angry Vox party. But beyond all this, today's uproar shows us to what extent, in the fight to overthrow Sánchez, the use of justice also counts, and how Sánchez's fight to defend himself affirms the same thing as the independence movement, or Podemos, or people who, when they were passing through, as they have denounced Tamara Carrasco or Sandro Rosell: transformed into an arm of the right and the far right, with which they share ideological sympathy. Sooner or later, it was bound to happen: this passion for prospective investigations, for the popular accusations of Vox, for the indictments for terrible crimes that have not been committed, the refusal to apply the amnesty—all of this has ended up overriding the credibility of the Spanish justice system among the Spanish people themselves.

And yesterday we also had a snort. Minister Puente, author of "Spain's trains are experiencing the best moment in their history," made this acknowledgment yesterday in Congress:

"I have to say, without hesitation, that the Catalan commuter rail network is the most deteriorated in our network, due to its size and, let's say, the disinvestment that has occurred, over the long and wide history of its existence. It is the oldest network, in every sense, and it is also the network that has suffered, let's say, over time."

An admission that did not prevent him from applauding the punctuality of the Spanish railways. The reality of the commuter service denies this every dayLook, there's only one secret to making trains work: investment, continuous investment, every year. Look at what's happening now: all the bragging about high speed ("Spain is the country in the world with the second most kilometers of high-speed rail after China!"), and now there are more and more delays every day because the trains have become old, the new ones have failed, and the network is expensive to maintain. While high-speed trains and carriages were purchased, not a single commuter rail carriage was purchased for every service in Spain. How do they expect the service to work?

Good morning.
