10.06.2025 ⇢ Day the Government Declared War on Judges
⌨

The Sánchez government escalated its confrontation with the judiciary following Attorney General García Ortiz's formal charging the previous day. By morning, government spokesperson López dismissed the prosecution as "falsity" and an "aurora boreal." The rhetoric intensified throughout the day, with officials repeatedly stating judges were "doing things difficult to understand," effectively questioning judicial competence.

Simultaneously, the UCO anti-corruption unit raided former Transport Minister Ábalos's Valencia home and construction companies, locating recordings of alleged bribes. The searches represented a dramatic expansion of the corruption investigation that has engulfed Sánchez's inner circle.

The European Commission added pressure by questioning Spain's amnesty law, describing it as resembling "self-amnesty" that "guarantees impunity for government partners." New Villarejo recordings implicated Rajoy and the entire PP in state security operations, while the government used these revelations to deflect from its own judicial troubles.
