The Hunt for Judges

The article discusses growing public perception in Spain that conservative judges are systematically targeting socialist politicians through what is termed 'lawfare'—a term associated with legal strategies used to undermine opponents. The piece frames this as part of a broader narrative linking leftist parties like Podemos and Catalan nationalism to the concept of judicial persecution, suggesting that such tactics are used to erode progressive projects. It references historical claims of a Francoist legacy in Spanish governance and notes that recent polls and mainstream newspapers like El País and La Vanguardia support the belief that many Spaniards think 'lawfare' is being used against them. The tone implies skepticism toward these accusations, suggesting they may be politically motivated.
