Zapatero, to his secretary, in July 2025: "I can't have English, messy with Junts"

Source Summary

The investigation by the Audiencia Nacional into José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is revealing the movements of the former Spanish president in recent years. L'ARA has had access to his diaries for 2024 and 2025 and to the WhatsApp conversations he had with his secretary, Gertrudis Alcázar, between April 2025 and the day of his indictment . "Do I cancel the run?", she asked him that morning. "Yes, of course", he replied immediately afterwards. There are messages in which both talk directly about Junts. "I can't have English, trouble with Junts", Zapatero told her on July 21, 2025. The next day was the last plenary session of Congress of the political year and Junts voted against the blackout decree, which also failed with the rejection of Podem, and against the advance payments, which Moncloa saved thanks to the approval of the PP.
