Commenting in the taz, Spain correspondent Reiner Wandler sees the lawsuit as a typically perfidious right-wing tactic:
“Whether it’s against pro-independence politicians in Catalonia or the Basque Country, leftist alternative politicians or, as now, against Sánchez, the right is experienced in this type of smear campaign. Media financed by regional governments through institutional advertising fabricate news, ultra-right organisations file lawsuits, judges loyal to the PP and VOX launch legal proceedings. Even if almost all of them are eventually dropped, some of the dirt always sticks. The fact that now even the family is being targeted by the mud-slinging – without there being any evidence to support the accusations – is new. Lawfare – an attempted coup aided by judges – is what is going on in Spain right now.”
