"I have never had any connection with Plus Ultra, nor did anyone ask me for anything. I did nothing and had no interest in the bailout." José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero testified for four hours before the Senate's Koldo case investigation committee. called by the PP at the start of the election campaign in Castile and León to talk, primarily, about the Plus Ultra bailout. A case that is under investigation for alleged money laundering – it is questioned whether part of the bailout could have been used to launder money from corruption in Venezuela – and which the Popular Party has long considered highly credible.

With a sour and belligerent tone and going on the offensive, Alberto Núñez Feijóo appeared before the Congressional committee on the woman from the Valencian Country to explain the information he had on the day of the tragedy. For three and a half hours, he used ETA's letter and avoided clarifying why the PP keeps Carlos Mazón as Member of Parliament in the Valencian Parliament —which allows him to retain his parliamentary immunity—, he blamed the Spanish government's partners for endorsing the Moncloa Palace's handling of the situation, took refuge behind the railway chaos, and resorted to an expression he repeated three times: "So brave with a resigned president and so cowardly with a sitting president."

Eight years after the August 17 attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, the victims maintain their objective of having a judicial investigation clarify everything surrounding the 17-A incident.

This famous line from Groucho Marx in the movie Goose soup It perfectly sums up the farce of the appearances before the Congress of Deputies committee on Operation Catalunya.

Declining to acknowledge the authenticity of the audio recordings and claiming they were manipulated and edited. This has been the joint strategy of former PP deputy leader María Dolores de Cospedal and former PP leader in Catalonia Alícia Sánchez-Camacho to evade the new evidence linking them to Operation Catalunya. This Monday, precisely, The world on RAC1 has published a conversation the former Defense Minister had with former Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo in September 2014, in which they openly discussed the dirty war against the independence movement. "I don't remember talking about Catalonia with Villarejo," Cospedal asserted during her appearance before the Congressional commission of inquiry. Far from shedding light on the maneuvers against leaders of the Process, Sánchez-Camacho attempted to spin the narrative: she presented herself as a "second-class citizen" and a victim of "persecution" that "forced her to leave the territory she loved." "This is the real Operation Catalonia," she criticized.
