Judicial accusations and insinuations viewed by Bolaños as "unacceptable," stemming from the PP or independence groups.
In the heart of Spanish politics, a series of heated exchanges have taken place this week, with Minister Felix Bolaños finding himself at the centre of the storm.
Bolaños, who has defended the judicial power three times this week, has been vocal in his criticism of both the Popular Party (PP) and the independence movement over their accusations against the court at the European level. He has described any personal attacks on judges, whether from the PP or the independence movement, as "intolerable from a democratic point of view."
The President of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has not shied away from criticism either. He has criticized the intervention of Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Government, during the debate on the Spanish presidency's report before the Eurochamber. Sánchez compared the plan of Vox, "allies of the PP", to returning the names of leaders of the Third Reich to the streets and squares of Berlin, a comparison that Feijóo found "absolutely unprecedented" and surprising to European colleagues.
Bolaños has not provided any information about meetings between Sánchez, Feijóo, or Carles Puigdemont, the former Catalan president. However, he has criticized the PP's strategy of trying to undermine Spain's reputation in European institutions.
The tension between the two parties has not gone unnoticed. Miriam Nogueras, a Junts deputy in the Congress of Deputies, called the President of the Chamber of Criminal Affairs of the Supreme Court, Manuel Marchena, and other magistrates "indecent." Josep Lluís Cleries, another representative of Junts, accused judges of waging a "political battle" to "sabotage" the amnesty law in the Senate.
In response to these accusations, Marchena postponed his meeting with Bolaños, citing a "personal attack" by Junts as the reason. Bolaños has reiterated that the solution to the Popular Party's blockade of the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary is for the Popular Party to stop blocking it.
Bolaños has framed Feijóo's reaction as part of a strategy of "speaking ill of Spain outside our borders" that is "not newsworthy." He has also criticized the PP for their efforts to undermine Spain's reputation in European institutions.
As the political landscape in Spain continues to evolve, these exchanges serve as a reminder of the ongoing tensions and the importance of maintaining a democratic and respectful discourse. The name of the politician who supports Minister Bolaños and shares his views on these matters is Joan Subirats.
