Investigators discuss government tactics and judicial clashes over overseas voting
Alejandro Entrambasaguas and María Jamardo examined the legal fight over Spaniards voting from abroad and the government's response on their show.
In a recent episode of Hechos Probados, Alejandro Entrambasaguas, chief of Investigation at one outlet, and María Jamardo, responsible for the Tribunals section, tackled the contentious judicial battle surrounding the voting rights of Spaniards living abroad. They focused on an instruction from Sofía Puente, the sibling of minister Óscar Puente, and evaluated how the government and the Central Electoral Board have acted following a Supreme Court decision.
The journalists also pointed to recent foreign trips by senior socialist figures, including visits to Argentina, suggesting these trips relate to broader political strategies. Additionally, they reported accusations that members of the executive have targeted specific judges and magistrates after rulings that opposed their interests. The program concluded with new information about former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, describing meetings held at La Capilla, a hotel venue in Madrid, which they claim are linked to his legal defence strategy and efforts to secure witnesses.
