MadridIf there is anything that has marked the week, again, it is the Zapatero case. It began with the defense brief of businessman Julio Martínez Martínez before the National Court, in which he implicated the former Spanish president in the rescue of Plus Ultra; and it ends with Zapatero's first interview since he was charged on May 19. The former PSOE leader maintains his innocence: this Thursday he again denied any dealings with the Spanish government to obtain credit for the Venezuelan-capital airline; and explained that the jewelry was a "courtesy gift" without explaining its origin. The former president said he would explain this soon before the National Court judge. However, has Zapatero convinced? How does it affect Pedro Sánchez's government? See the analysis.
