• The Government has interfered in the action of the courts, especially shown by the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, who criticized the Supreme Court's decision on Carles Puigdemont and anticipated corrections from the Constitutional Court
• This behavior erodes the separation of powers and raises suspicions about the Government's complicity in Puigdemont's escape
• Accusing the Supreme of overstepping its boundaries is inadmissible, especially when it is based on the application of poorly drafted norms with deficient legal technique
• This behavior exposes the Executive's intention to dominate the TC, relying on its pro-government majority
• The explicit pressures from the Government have even caused discomfort in the court presided over by Cándido Conde-Pumpido
• The recent escape of Puigdemont and the formation of the new Catalan Government, without the Spanish flag at their investiture, mark a stage of concessions and dependency on separatist forces

Conclusion: The actions of the Government undermine the separation of powers and manifest excessive interference in the judicial system, eroding its credibility and framing it in a climate of political pressure. At the same time, these actions consolidate the relationship with separatist forces.
