Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez held a press conference on Wednesday to discuss recent political developments, including a lawsuit against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado for alleged misconduct.

Sánchez defended the lawsuit, stating it was necessary to protect the integrity of the presidency.

He also praised the recent agreement between the PSC and ERC to support Salvador Illa's candidacy for the presidency of Catalonia, calling it a "magnificent" deal.

This press conference came just a day after Sánchez's testimony before Judge Peinado regarding a case involving his wife, Begoña Gómez, where he chose not to answer questions.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the government remains focused on its agenda despite the ongoing judicial scrutiny.

He expressed confidence that the agreement with ERC would benefit both Catalonia and Spain, ensuring solidarity and equality among citizens.
