Defense Minister Margarita Robles reportedly suppressed a secret intelligence report on Ceuta just before Prime Minister Sánchez appointed her as his second-in-command for Madrid. The disclosure arrives as the Supreme Court moves to remove García Ortiz from his judicial career, focusing attention on high-level appointments across the state's security and legal apparatus.
The left’s attempts at unity continue to look like an exercise in subtraction. Frente Amplio has accused Podemos of playing a "parallel game" by negotiating privately with Catalan separatists; meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry has stopped sending voter census data to the electoral board, a move that could quiet the voices of newly naturalized citizens abroad.
Carles Puigdemont says he will not serve as opposition leader in the Catalan Parliament and is instead preparing a return to Spain that his rivals "will have to sign a surrender" for. To his right, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has called for the Navy to be deployed against Moroccan "invasions" in North Africa, a demand for maritime intervention that sets the tone for his upcoming campaign.
