Spain's Constitutional Court has put its president in front of the cameras to explain the court's thinking, with video excerpts of the interview with Cándido Conde-Pumpido now released. He takes viewers through the reasoning behind the ruling on the amnesty law, one of the most combustible legal questions in recent Spanish politics. Pressed on claims that the judiciary has been used to persecute political opponents, he rejects the 'lawfare' label outright. In his reading, such tactics belong elsewhere and have no place in Spain. He also revisits a constitutional point, stressing that the Carta Magna itself fixes the Spanish identity of Ceuta and Melilla. The interview lands at a moment when the amnesty dispute still cuts through the country's politics. His answers read as both a defence of the court and a rebuttal of its loudest critics.
