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)

Among them were the Catalans, Alcocer's cousin, Mario Fernández Alcocer; Carolina Plata, who Eva Ferrer pointed out as an alleged frontman; and the Italian Enrico Romagnoli, investigated for alleged corruption in Ecopetrol. Lancheros indicated that a flight to Venezuela on January 31, 2023, on a state aircraft Legacy FAC 1218, was the one Ferrer mentioned in statements to SEMANA. According to Ferrer, drugs would have been transported on that flight, and 2.5 million dollars had been brought from Venezuela. He also stated that the Catalan businessman Manel Grau told him that part of that money was intended to finance Fernández Alcocer's campaign for the governorship of Sucre in the 2023 regional and local elections. Ferrer added that, according to what he had been told, there would be photographs of Alcocer getting off the plane with gray suitcases and a movement of capital between both countries would have occurred. #Corrupción #Colombia #Ecopetrol (translated)
