Yolanda Díaz Accuses Judge Peinado of Political Interference in 'Caso Begoña'

Yolanda Díaz has officially accused Judge Peinado of political interference in the ongoing 'caso Begoña' investigation, a major controversy that underscores tensions within the Spanish political landscape. At a press conference, Díaz stated that the judge's actions are not in line with judicial independence and have raised serious concerns about the integrity of the judicial process.

Díaz's assertions come amidst growing scrutiny of Peinado’s decisions in the case, suggesting they may reflect political motivations rather than impartiality. The accusation has sparked significant backlash, particularly from opposition parties who argue that such claims undermine the credibility of the judiciary as a whole. "We cannot allow the judiciary to be perceived as an instrument of political power," Díaz emphasized, calling for a decisive response from the government to ensure judicial autonomy.

This controversy follows a series of high-profile allegations against judges in Spain, increasing calls for reforms to protect judicial independence. Critics of Peinado have previously voiced concerns about certain rulings that appear to favor political interests. As this situation continues to develop, both the public and political figures are closely monitoring the implications of Díaz's statements on the ongoing investigation and broader judicial reforms.
