Today is a busy day for Spain’s judicial system.
Whilst the 20 members of the General Council of the Judiciary in charge of appointing Spain’s judges are busy choosing their new president, ending a 5 year long deadlock – Spanish Prime minister Pedro Sanchez is being interrogated by a judge as a witness in a corruption investigation targeting his wife.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the complicated entanglement between Spain’s political forces and its judicial system.
How did this happen and is Spain’s rule of law in danger?
