The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, has cast suspicion on the judicial cases cornering the PSOE, asserting that "a Government is being sought to be overthrown by undemocratic methods." Puente pointed to the judicial "calendar," "leaks" of cases under seal, and political "utilization" by the opposition as indicators of this situation. "The PSOE will neither consent to this nor be bowed by it," he concluded in statements made in the corridors of Congress.

This reaction follows Pedro Sánchez's call to close ranks and resist. The Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, had already set the tone earlier, describing searches like that of the Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard at Ferraz as an "absolute 'show'", and unequivocally stating that 'lawfare', or judicial dirty warfare, "exists".

Puente argued that the timing of politics and justice "align," considering it a "democratic obligation" to denounce it. He drew a comparison with other political parties, mentioning the Kitchen case where Mariano Rajoy's name was removed from certain reports, and stated that "there are cases that do not hold up," referring to cases affecting Pedro Sánchez's relatives or the sentence against the State Attorney General.

The minister conveyed a "deep indignation" and "weariness" to the socialist ranks regarding the situation. In line with the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, Puente declared that "I do not believe in coincidences," emphasizing the procedures, timelines, and leaks.

For his part, Ángel Víctor Torres responded to pressure from the PNV, which is calling for early elections, stating that these are "respectable opinions" but that the decision rests solely with the head of the Executive. Torres challenged Alberto Núñez Feijóo to present a "brave" no-confidence motion, considering it would not have the necessary support.
