The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has demanded the "maximum respect" for the work of the judges after Podemos has reacted with harsh attacks against the one who is investigating alleged irregularities in its financing, and who has accused the party and three members from its dome: one of the closest collaborators of Pablo Iglesias (Juanma del Olmo), the treasurer and the manager.

Although Sánchez has avoided commenting on Podemos' imputation and has opted for evasions so as not to inconvenience his government partner, he has marked distances in terms of his attitude by defending the "independence" of the judges.

"The attitude that I have always maintained since I am president of the Government is not affected. I believe that we must respect that we are in a social and democratic State of Law and that there is an independence of the Judicial Power, and this investigation is in the hands of the power Therefore, maximum respect for the independence of judges in this regard, as in many others that have nothing to do with politics, "he declared.

At a press conference at the Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca after meeting with King Felipe VI, he repeated on several occasions that the only thing he had to say about the case is "maximum respect for the Judiciary and its work. Nothing more to add ".

His response clashes with the belligerent position of Podemos against the judge, whom he has been accusing in the last hours of promoting a "general cause" against them and a "prospective investigation".

"The judge calls even the prompter to testify and even asks for the documentation of the vaccination of the dog of Pablo Iglesias 'third cousin without any proof other than the statement of one who' heard 'and' suspects 'things and on top of that they go and' get lost '2h of that statement. All correct, "criticized Pablo Echenique yesterday.

Along the same lines, the secretary of Civil Society of Podemos and co-spokesperson of the Executive, Rafael Mayoral, denounced today that the head of the Court of Instruction number 42 of Madrid, Juan José Escalonilla, is doing "strange things."

Among other things, he has linked his performance to the motion of censure that Vox will present in September. "It needs dressing," he said in an interview on Cadena Ser.

In this regard, the deputy we reproached that Vox you have not asked for bail to practice as a private prosecution in this process and believes that the formation of Santiago Abascal that have turned to this cause to try to miss La Moncloa to United We can.

The leader of Podemos has also criticized that the judge has summoned the members of the Podemos leadership to testify in the month of November. "It is the icing on the cake," she added. Mayoral considers this to be part of a "political use" to get more talk about this matter.

The leader assures that the cause is being "amplified" because there is a "underlying political interest" and warns that it is a maneuver against them because of their role in the Government.

Mayoral has charged the former Podemos lawyer, José Manuel Calvente, who is the one who filed the complaint in court, because he considers that he has not provided any "evidence" in his statement, but that they are "assumptions that do not hold and that grated the ridiculous ".

Likewise, he has argued that the questions addressed by the defense and the Prosecutor's Office to Calvente "have disappeared" because he believes that they are the evidence that demonstrated that the things he has declared before the judge "have neither head nor tail."

Finally, he believes that the case will be resolved "favorably" before Podemos due to the resources presented by the formation of Pablo Iglesias, and has ensured that his party "will comply with the legal mandates" with everything that the judge requires.
