Cerdán has asked the Supreme for a live performance of next Monday's statement

Attorney Benet Salellas has argued that, given the importance of the case and the parallel trial to which Cerdán is subjected, it is necessary to lift the reserved nature of the hearing and allow its public broadcast.

Santos Cerdán's defense has asked the judge to issue a live hearing next Monday at the Supreme Court so that the media and public opinion can follow it.

Counsel Benet Salellas has argued that, given the importance of the case and the parallel trial to which Cerdán is subjected, it is necessary to remove the reserved nature of the appearance and allow it to be broadcast publicly, "even through a specific videostreaming channel or through Spanish public television (TVE)."

Salellas argues that this measure would protect the fundamental rights of his representative, "the solution would not be to limit the performance of the media, but to extend access to the conduct of investigative proceedings to ensure that the enlightened public is considered fully enlightened."

Counsel has recalled that a case of alleged corruption involving former PSOE officials is being investigated, so "the public interest is unquestionable".

It also expresses the defence's intention to provide full information on Cerdán's estate, including that of his wife and daughter, as an example of a "clear will for transparency" and requests that all relevant documentation be obtained through the Judicial Neutral Point.
