After being asked about the true sense of expressions such as “eliminating” or “giving it a sieve,” it was quite clear: “Eliminating means killing her. A scare wasn’t going to make it.”

What is unclear?

They apparently went to her daughters’ school, attempted to intimidate here on social media using deepfakes. All these reports in recent months about this case shines a clear light on Pedro Sanchez, a person with no morality nor ethics.

What you and others are doing with this report is a very weird form of deflection.

El Pais is right wing?

This has nothing to do with French farmers. Le Pen has a strong history of lenient positions toward authoritarian regimes, particularly China and probably more so toward Russia.

Though she sometimes appears to have a critical stance towards China, it is mainly rhetorical. In 2025, for example, her party was the only party to oppose a national resolution to impose a €2 levy on small packages, which primarily targeted the flood of Shein and Temu packages in France.

Her stance toward Russia is explicitly pro-Kremlin. Before the invasion of Ukraine, she notoriously defended closer ties with Putin’s regime and even publicly justified the annexation of Crimea. It’s for such comments that a 2023 French parliamentary report says that Le Pen’s far right serves as mouthpiece for the Kremlin.

Ah, the next propaganda slop. Just read the linked article published by El Pais (or is it also far-right?). There have been many other articles published by a wide range of outlets in recent months. You’ll easily find them on the web.

This is outright a lie. There are new developments but the case that has been reported for a long time now, just most of the reports are in Spanish by Spanish media. But the case is well known.

This woman doesn’t care about French farmers. This is just a pretext. She intendst to serve her supporters in Moscow and Beijing.

Ah, picking a sentence out of context and throwing the next offense.

I understand this here very clear. And the sources are very good.

That website is literally, ENTIRELY devoted to fear mongering about China, find a less biased source.

Nah, it’s not. This is a very good source.

But, for you, as you are so friendly and arguing in good faith, I can tell you there is more. In “How Extreme Parties in the European Parliament Can Shape EU-China Relations” (pdf), the Association for International Affairs in Prague provides an excellent analysis with a similar conclusion,

… Anticipated gains [in future European election] for both far-right and far-left wings […] are likely to favour more China-friendly votes. As these groups increase their representation, the dynamic within the EP [European Parliament] is expected to evolve toward a stance that is less critical of China. This shift could make it increasingly difficult to promote or sustain China-sceptic policies, as the balance of power may tilt towards those advocating for stronger ties with China.

This shift could manifest in softened rhetoric, reduced support for strong trade or human rights stances against China, and increased advocacy for engagement and cooperation. Such changes would affect the policy debates and resolutions within the European Parliament. As such, understanding these electoral dynamics and their potential impact on EU policies is crucial for stakeholders and policymakers who need to anticipate and respond to the changing geopolitical landscape …

So, it’s another reason to fight the European far-right and far-left, as both are closely aligned with China and Russia.

Another sign that there is not much difference between the far-right and the far-left. Maybe the Horseshoe Theory applies? I am not a political scientist, maybe there is one around and can elaborate more.

Marriage of Convenience: How European Far-Right and Far-Left Discovered China

European far-right and far-left political parties, though ideologically opposed, are finding common ground in their alignments with China, echoing Beijing’s narratives and raising concerns about foreign influence and manipulation.

It’s a very good analyses, but there are more across the web.

Let me also thank you for your polite and sophisticated comment.

The far-right (and the far-left) in Europe - not only in France - are siding with Russia and China.

In the meantime I provided two other sources in this thread containing the same content. Everyone who wants can find more on the web with a simple search.

I end this discussion now.

Here is another article reporting about the judge as she provided evidence to the court today. It says,

… Biedma’s appearance comes a day after a report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard was made known, in which the investigators link the alleged “Leire plot” with Sáenz de Tejada. This document includes the testimony of a witness who attributes to the former magistrate having spoken of “eliminating” Biedma because she was “a fucking pain in the ass” …

Ah, the next deflection. First, you question the source claiming it’s not true. When it’s true, you question the headline to play it down. Typical fascist propaganda slop?

The next deflection.There are multiple sources in Spanish about that. Beatriz Biedma has been called to give evidence at the National Court in Madrid today, on October 8. You’ll easily find these sources and a translation.

Edit:

Here is another English language article about it:

… Judge Beatriz Biedma, who led the case against David Sánchez, brother of the president of the Government, will appear this Thursday before the National Court as a harmed party in the ‘Leire Díez case’, a procedure in which Judge Santiago Pedraz investigates an alleged network aimed at interfering in judicial processes affecting the PSOE …

This will be the first time a female judge testifies in this investigation. Biedma reported feeling “affected” by a possible orchestrated campaign to “discredit her publicly and professionally,” which would have been driven by the plot supposedly led by former socialist leader Santos Cerdán and coordinated by former member Leire Díez …

… considering that she was the object “of actions aimed at obtaining information about her, discrediting her publicly and professionally, promoting complaints and grievances against her, gathering information about her environment, and removing her from specific judicial procedures” … [and] the objective of the alleged plot was “to neutralize, disturb, or even destroy the judicial procedure whose instruction she had been entrusted with” …

Biedma pointed out that “it would have been Leire Díez herself who indicated” to former judge Luis José Sáenz de Tejada to “promote complaints” against her before the Attorney General’s Office, “believing that she had the capacity to influence that institution” …

In parallel, the judge referred to a note found in Díez’s agenda that “would be related to investigations that the magistrate was directing about clans dedicated to drug trafficking.”

Biedma stated that she was aware “of the existence of contacts promoted by the supposed investigated criminal group with people linked to a well-known clan based in the city of Badajoz with the aim of acting against the magistrate.”

Finding alternative articles about that is very easy. You can do this yourself without much effort.

Just deflecting and criticizing this as fake or discrediting it in any way discredits you completely.

Spain’s law enforcement has confirmed that, not a ‘far-right website’.

Sanchez has been facing a series of corruption cases in last years, involving his family members and close political allies. Sanchez is only interested in himself and his own career. And he is now trying to use the housing crisis and even the death of Maricarmen Abascal for its own advantalge. This person has no morality nor ethics, very much like the tankies here.

Edit:

And Sanchez’s brother has been convicted this year.

You are spreading misleading information and fascist propaganda, @rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works.

This is already done.
