Editorial: El Español

• The lieutenant prosecutor of the Supreme Court, María Ángeles Sánchez Conde, opposes investigating Carles Puigdemont for terrorism in the case of the Tsunami riots.
• Sánchez Conde finds insufficient evidence against Puigdemont and asks for the case to be returned to the National Court.
• Sánchez Conde's report contradicts eleven other prosecutors who did find enough hints to investigate Puigdemont for terrorism.
• The lieutenant prosecutor doubts that Tsunami was a structured and hierarchical organization with the aim of subverting the constitutional order and destabilizing Spain.
• Sánchez Conde's report coincides with the attorney general's view and provides a breather to the Government in the negotiations on the amnesty law with Puigdemont.

Conclusion: Despite Sánchez Conde's interpretation, the final say lies with the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court, and this newspaper believes that the judge's and the prosecutors' interpretation should prevail.
