Fascist witch hunting from a biased judge based on accusations of a far right syndicate. What a joke.

They have about year to go, and the pendulum seems to be swinging against them anyway. Sanchez's coalition has been quite unpopular for a long time already.

I would guess this won't have much effect before the next elections (August 2027). Popularity is measured between elections of course but the people in power usually have no reason to give a shit about that.
