Current events in Spain are marked by new judicial restrictions imposed on Begoña Gómez and authorities' concern over public safety. The national landscape also includes the blocking of key infrastructure in Galicia and political tensions in Catalonia.
Begoña Gómez, wife of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, will file an appeal against the precautionary measures ordered by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who has withdrawn her passport and prohibited her from leaving Spain after opening an oral trial against her. In response to this situation, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has sent a formal complaint to the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ)—the body that supervises judges—questioning the magistrate's actions in this case.
Regarding safety and health, the Chief Prosecutor of Asturias has warned about the detection of fentanyl trafficking, a potent and dangerous opioid drug, in the region. Meanwhile, Metro de Madrid has increased surveillance in its stations to curb street food vending. Additionally, a tragic incident occurred in Lanzarote, where a four-year-old girl drowned in a hotel pool in Playa Blanca after health services were unable to resuscitate her.
At the regional level, the transfer of the AP-9 highway to the Xunta de Galicia has been paralyzed. The People's Party has withdrawn from the transfer agreement, alleging a last-minute "trap clause" in the document. This highway is the main communication route connecting the north and south of the Galician community.
Finally, in Catalonia, the Aliança Catalana party is rising in the polls, focusing its discourse on insecurity and immigration. In Congress, the Government's usual partners are maintaining their support for Pedro Sánchez for now, while the PP admits to contacts with Junts, although it does not expect significant progress in their parliamentary relations in the short term.
