Former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero appeared in court on corruption charges, intensifying political pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez amid ongoing corruption cases against his allies and calls for snap elections. The Basque Nationalist Party and Together for Catalonia are urging new elections, but a right-wing bloc's opposition to separatist parties complicates potential coalition efforts against Sánchez.
