In fact, Sánchez sees the PSOE "in a better position than in 2023," despite the fact that in this legislature, as a veteran socialist who does not have much faith in that rebound well reminds us, several corruption cases have emerged that directly affect the Government and the party, starting with the controversy over the amnesty law that could facilitate the return of Carles Puigdemont in a few weeks. #Elecciones2026 #PedroSánchez #AlbertoNúñezFeijóo (translated)

Andjelina wrote that SL felt like déjà vu to her and asked if people think that everyone has forgotten.

She added that a small group of people is inviting others to vote for Serbia through a link. https://t.co/vGYhD1iZ6s #Srbija #politikа #dejaVu (translated)

Nicolas Redondo Terreros questioned the actions of the members of the Constitutional Court in the approval of the amnesty and argued that they had favored Pedro Sánchez and Carles Puigdemont. He claimed that the measure had served to secure the seven independentist votes necessary for Sánchez to remain in La Moncloa and rejected that its purpose had been to pacify Catalan society or facilitate political agreements. The author said that if the Supreme Court ruled against it, the Constitutional Court would still have to pronounce on the so-called "grandchildren's law." He also maintained that the magistrates had lost prestige and had acted in the service of a leader who, according to him, lacked scruples and threatened democratic balances. Redondo Terreros responded to Cándido Conde-Pumpido's assertion that going against the Constitutional Court was going against democracy. In his view, criticizing the court's management and its intervention in the Supreme Court's realm was also a way to defend it. #Constitución #Democracia #Justicia (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)

MagistraThor stated that in recent years several measures had been adopted to achieve the investiture and maintain the Government during the legislature: the amnesty and pardon for the authors of the coup in Catalonia, as well as extraordinary prison benefits for ETA prisoners which, he claimed, shortened their sentences and allowed their release from prison. He added that this last measure had been agreed upon with Bildu, which he described as the most loyal support of the Government. He characterized all these measures as serious attacks on the rule of law and said that they shared the goal of securing the investiture and maintaining the majority during the legislature. #Amnistía #Indulto #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Lexa wrote that Elon Musk stated on October 10, 2026, that Volodymyr Zelensky was "going too far."

Lexa asked whether Zelensky should actually be protected from just punishment. #Kriegsrecht #Demokratie #Korruption (translated)
