The Council of Ministers will agree this Tuesday that Spain, as requested by Junts, will adhere to a protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights that allows the High Courts of countries to ask the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for opinions on matters relating to the application of rights and freedoms.

The magistrate investigating former minister Jose Luis Ábalos begins an intense round of testimony this Tuesday, with the former number three in Transport and Carmen Pano, the businesswoman who claimed to have handed over 90,000 euros to the PSOE headquarters on the orders of the alleged commissioner of the plot, Víctor de Aldama.

The trial for the alleged fraud against Madrid City Council in the sale of masks in the midst of the pandemic enters its decisive phase from this Tuesday, with the last witnesses, who will give way to the testimonies of the two accused, businessmen Alberto Luceño and Luis Medina.

The reform of the land law will be debated this Tuesday in the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies nine months after the Government withdrew it due to lack of support. As before, its passage depends on the votes of the PP, because the parties to the left of the PSOE reject it.
