If one piece of news raised eyebrows in the midst of the Santos Cerdán case, just after the UCO report was released, it was the decision of the former PSOE number three to choose lawyer Benet Salellas to defend him in the court case. Until that day, Cerdán's lawyer was Gonzalo Martínez-Fresneda, who works for the PSOE, but with the dismissal of all his positions, he had to opt for his own strategy. Few expected him to hire a former CUP deputy in the Catalan Parliament, key to the 2017 laws disengaging from the Proceso and also the lawyer for the leader of Òmnium, Jordi Cuixart, during the Proceso trial. What was the connection between the two? How did Cerdán get to Salellas? Why did the lawyer, known for his human rights cases, agree to defend the former PSOE number three?

The PP has found in the allegedoperation against the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, which he attributes to the PSOE, his main source of attack against Pedro Sánchez. That's why, a few days before the demonstration called by Alberto Núñez Feijóo In Madrid, against the "mafia" they attribute to the Socialists, the Popular Party has expanded its offensive in the judicial sphere.
