The everlasting Spain, identical to itself, that ofSpain and I are like that, madam. (phrase often attributed to Ortega y Gasset, but which actually comes from a play by Eduardo Marquina with a significant title, The sun has set in Flanders) was expressed on Monday, twice: on the one hand, with the appearance of former Spanish Vice President Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, and on the other, with the Supreme Court's rejection of the complaint against King Juan Carlos for five tax offenses, filed months ago by a group of retired prosecutors and judges, some of them.

The last time Artur Mas appeared in Congress was in November 2005 to defend the Statute of Autonomy, and almost 20 years later, he returned this Monday to "solemnly," he said, announce a complaint regarding Operation Catalunya. The two issues are interrelated, as evidenced by the fact that they appeared throughout the former president of the Generalitat's appearance before the commission on the dirty war against the Catalan Process. His appearance was preceded by the publication on RAC1 that Mas is the main victim of Pegasus spying in Spain, with around thirty infections on his mobile phone between 2015 and 2020—during a period, he was president—which has acted as a trigger for legal action. "Knowing the truth and ensuring that everyone assumes their responsibilities is the only way to restore and heal the wounds inflicted on the Spanish democratic system by Operation Catalunya," he argued.
