In this interview, international lawyer Robert Amsterdam shares his perspective on what he describes as a “rule of law crisis” within Spain’s tax system. He argues that current practices undermine judicial independence, violate EU legal standards, and have far-reaching consequences for citizens, businesses, and the credibility of the Union’s legal order.
The discussion covers:
• Allegations of systemic issues in Spain’s tax enforcement and appeals process
• The impact on fundamental rights and access to justice
• Broader implications for EU governance and rule of law
• What actions Brussels could consider in response
