Images of a ride under a burning sun in an electric blue Clio. That's what was left He RAID from Judge Peinado through the gardens of Moncloa. The order of Pedro Sánchez’s appearance was certainly filtered from the court show he led, certainly spiced with some details of the instructor’s style to make it clear who is in charge here; but it went no further. As a spectacle it was highly vulgar. The blockbuster that was announced as “the first time in democracy that a judge has accepted a presidential declaration in Moncloa” seemed like a fragment from a Santiago Segura family comedy. Just as he was going to Moncloa, he could have been heading for Mercadona, the beach or an APA meeting.
The complaint of pampering presented by the Public Prosecutor, on behalf of the President of the Government, has turned the comedy into a judicial drama of the first order. That complaint had been raffled off for a long time and the judge bought all the numbers. The decision has its risks. But it seemed riskier to keep waiting for the next event of Judge Peinado.
