The Spanish justice tightens the siege on Sánchez

The Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard entered the PSOE headquarters this morning to request information. They are looking for an alleged illegal financing network of the party. Let's see, a police entry reinforces the feeling of guilt of the investigated person, which, in the era of narrative over facts, is ideal for those who wish harm to the suspect. But if anywhere we know what effect the interested administration of the judicial instruction and police investigation has with a specific intention, it is in Catalonia.

Another thing is that it continues to rain cats and dogs on Sánchez. Imagine him, this morning, on his way to St. Peter's Square, in Rome, going to see the Pope, with a message saying: "The Civil Guard has entered Ferraz." Let's see what he says at the press conference he has called for mid-morning, but the illegal financing of the party is a reason to withdraw support from the Spanish government, even from people unequivocally from the left like Rufián. Nevertheless, what I told you yesterday is valid: Sánchez is made to resist, and now too.

All this makes President Illa's bet on Zapatero, that is, on Sánchez, even more significant, from yesterday:

Salvador Illa: "I trust President Zapatero and, above all, I trust the rule of law and the presumption of innocence. Let's see, this is not a jungle, eh? We will trust the rule of law and respect the presumption of innocence and we will wait for President Zapatero, who in the development of his functions as president of the government advanced our country a lot, and we are proud of it, at least I am, for him to be able to give his explanations. Here some prejudge, I think with too much lightness. He has to explain himself and he will do so, firstly, before the justice and, then, before the media."

Illa has tied his future to that of Sánchez, who, in turn, is closely tied to that of Zapatero. Political Madrid is boiling, because from Esquerra Unida they are recalling that PP leaders met with United States officials in Madrid, suggesting that the offensive against Zapatero, with Venezuela in the middle, is also of interest to Donald Trump's United States. What is sensational is that the PP calls for a clean government, when its track record on corruption is lamentable. And you already know that it will not have anyone's votes, as long as it goes with Vox. And meanwhile, the world is running very fast, states are running with their tongues hanging out to catch the big digital corporations and here we are, stumbling over a machine as delicate as democracy.

Good morning.
