Bolaños asks that the causes that affect politics be paused during the campaign: "It is a prudent rule, it has always been followed"

The Minister of Justice Félix Bolaños sent a message to the judges at the press conference after the extraordinary Council of Ministers this Friday: it would be "prudent" for those who investigate causes with political impact to step on the brakes until the elections are held on November 29. The call to prudence is not accidental. In recent days, the UCO has carried out searches and arrests linked to new fixes in the Koldo case, and has requested documentation from the Court of Auditors to investigate an alleged mismatch in donations received by the PSOE between 2017 and 2024. In addition, Judge María Tardón has summoned the former Government delegate in Ceuta to question him as a defendant next Wednesday.

These being the circumstances, Bolaños referred this Friday to "an unwritten rule" according to which "the judicial bodies and also the Prosecutor's Office did not make decisions, let's say, during the electoral periods since the elections were called." "To me, this unwritten rule seems very prudent, it seems very reasonable to me, it seems to me that it has always been complied with," the minister said, adding: "It is respectful of the processes that are underway, such as these general elections."

Thus, he has launched a veiled dart at all the judges who have advanced in their investigations since last October 5, when the President of the Government announced the electoral call. Between that date and this moment, there have been developments in the majority of cases that affect the PSOE. In the case of the alleged sewers, the judge in the case of Pedro Sánchez's brother made a statement, and the instructor has continued to delve into the alleged contacts of the plot with a clan of drug traffickers from Badajoz.

The judge of the National Court María Tardón, who is investigating the case of the Ceuta crisis, has given all possible impetus to her investigations, holding various testimonies and requesting dozens of reports. His colleague José Luis Calama has delved into the origin of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's jewelry and has continued his investigation into the money laundering in which Plus Ultra was involved.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court has agreed to apply the amnesty to Carles Puigdemont and the rest of the embezzlers of the process, although this judicial decision has been celebrated by Félix Bolaños himself.
