MadridIf there is anything that has marked the week, again, it is the Zapatero case. It began with the defense statement of businessman Julio Martínez Martínez to 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 to the judge of the National Court. However, has Zapatero convinced? How does it affect Pedro Sánchez's government? See the analysis.
