Editorial: El Mundo

• Pedro Sánchez launched an unprecedented attack on judicial independence.
• Sánchez intervened in the process to the attorney general, declaring his innocence before a sentence.
• This act is interpreted as a preparation to disregard a condemnatory sentence or to challenge the court if the sentence is absolved.
• The use of media for this message weakens democratic checks and balances and degrades journalism.
• Sánchez, in a moment of political weakness, defends the attorney and sets a precedent for cases affecting his political or family circle.
• Sánchez asserts the Government the right to decide on guilt or innocence in the name of a supposed 'global far-right wave'.

Conclusion: Justice has become a political obstacle for Sánchez, showing a will to dictate sentence before the judges.
