Ruiz, host of the morning show Mañaneros 360 on TVE, stated that the report —attributed to a German think tank— contains obvious errors such as graphics in Spanish without translation and provides no proof of specific irregularities, despite dedicating dozens of pages to describing supposed "networks of contacts" of the former socialist leader. "We are dealing with something that smells and reminds us so much of Villarejo," declared the journalist, thus alluding to the infamous dirty war and report fabrication practices attributed to the commissioner in the past.
The release of this dossier comes hours after Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid, stated at a public event that "we will know what happens with Zapatero" and predicted "judicial curves" for high-ranking PSOE officials, in a message that has reignited the debate over the PP's access to privileged information.
Journalistic sources that have analyzed parts of the document point out that it lacks a signature, letterhead, and verifiable evidence, and that its content is riddled with contradictions, assumptions, and unsubstantiated claims, which has fueled criticism about its credibility and political motivations. The use of this type of report in media confrontation strategies reminds some analysts of historical episodes of "lawfare" or political desgaste campaigns, without clear legal bases.
