Manu Sánchez has been in charge of welcoming Carlos Alsina in the weekly connection between more than one and Public Mirrorreplacing Susanna Griso, who is resting. The conversation began by commenting on the latest controversy carried out by Donald Trump, following the call to his friend “Felpudo Infantino”, as Carlos Alsina described and then ironically stated that now “we have two Infantinos, one in FIFA and the other in NATO, Mark Rutte.”
Alsina has pointed out that Donald Trump’s manners “define the way he relates to power.” In that context, he suggested that perhaps the time has come for European leaders to begin to “respond a little to Donald Trump.”
However, he has acknowledged that he does not believe that any European leader is going to “raise their voice” and has predicted that a dynamic similar to that experienced during the signing of the peace treaty for Gaza eight months ago will be repeated, when Trump turned the meeting into a spectacle at the expense of other international leaders.
For the director of more than one“the time has come not to pass one on to the president of the United States” and demand of him “the same respect that he has.” In any case, he has recognized that, although the United States is the ally that contributes the most within NATO, “there are ways of doing things.”

He did not travel to Ankara
The conversation has also addressed the decision of Juan Carlos Peinado’s substitute judge not to authorize Begoña Gómez’s trip to the NATO summit in Ankara, although he did allow her to attend her daughter’s graduation. Alsina described it as “humanly beautiful” that the judge gave more importance to a daughter’s graduation than to a NATO summit.
However, it has also been asked if this resolution responds solely to a technical criterion. “Would Judge Peinado have made the same decision?” he asked. In his opinion, it is possible that the resolution would have been the same, although he has acknowledged that there are reasons to have doubts.

In conclusion, the journalist has reduced credibility to the possibility that Begoña Gómez took advantage of the international trip to flee. “It’s difficult for her,” he stated, before adding that “nothing would have happened to let her go.”
In the final stretch of the conversation, both journalists commented on the latest CIS survey, according to which a majority of the population considers that Justice does not act with full impartiality. Alsina recalled that a survey carried out by the General Council of the Judiciary in 1990 already reflected that many Spaniards believed that the majority of judges were not impartial. “Maybe we are all interpreting that all this is new and this is not so new,” he noted.
Finally, he has questioned whether this survey benefits the Government, since the assessment of the political parties and the central Executive with respect to Justice comes out worse, due to what he has warned that “the credit he has for the citizens is not something to write home about either.”
