A Spanish judge, Tardón, has triggered a dispute with the Executive branch by requesting the police withhold a recently commissioned report. Ten days after requesting the police analysis concerning the situation in Ceuta, the judge reportedly called officials and instructed them not to share the information with the Interior Ministry. This directive raises questions about transparency and the separation of powers. The request directly challenges the standard procedure of informing the relevant ministry about findings from police investigations. Legal experts suggest this action could constitute an obstruction of justice or an overreach of judicial authority. The incident marks another point of contention between the judiciary and the government regarding the handling of information related to Ceuta. The motives behind the judge’s request remain unclear, fueling speculation and further escalating tensions.
