Iustitia Europa accuses Spanish government of intimidating Judge Biedma

Luis María Pardo, president of Iustitia Europa, has accused the Spanish government of attempting to intimidate Judge Biedma. The allegations stem from reports suggesting a plot involving a former socialist militant, Leire Díez, who allegedly contacted drug traffickers in Badajoz to sabotage the magistrate's work.

Judge Biedma has requested to be recognized as an injured party in the ‘Leire case,’ a matter currently pending a report from the Prosecutor's Office and a decision by instructor Santiago Pedraz. Pardo suggested that the operation against the judge may have been orchestrated following political tensions surrounding the investigation into Begoña Gómez, the wife of President Pedro Sánchez.

The controversy also involves the conviction of David Sánchez, the President's brother, who received a nine-year disqualification for administrative malfeasance related to his employment at the Badajoz Provincial Council. Pardo criticized the Prosecutor's Office for its handling of the case, suggesting it acted as a secondary defense for the President's relative.
