Santos Cerdán declared in the Senate that "There is a before and after the photo with PuigdemontA man facing prison defends himself as best he can, and in these times in Spain and the world, that amounts to saying his prosecution is political. Yes: when Pedro Sánchez abandoned him, Cerdán was left reeling. Therefore, it's pertinent to ask whether there's nothing to the alleged corruption, or whether corruption and Cerdán's judicial persecution are simultaneously compatible with an amnesty law, said the Vox senator questioning him. Perhaps he didn't realize the gravity of what he was admitting. fachoferaHe spoke with the offended tone of the coup-plotting generals, insisting: "There is something crucial for which you and your entire government should be tried, and that is having granted amnesty to coup plotters who wanted to break up Spain." Cerdán had just been handed the opportunity on a silver platter: "I've said that from the beginning. You're right about that: it all stems from here."

It doesn't stem from here, exactly. He just deemed it illegitimate that Sánchez gathered the votes that Feijóo couldn't muster. And, therefore, it stems from further back. He just lost the power. Not only because power means controlling the Official State Gazette and favoring the businesses of his friends, but because power is above the unity of Spain. Because, in his view of life, one thing guarantees the other. Even if this undermines the credibility of the judiciary.
