Overview
- Álvaro García Ortiz used the swearing-in of Carmen Eiró at the TSXG as his first public act since a six-day Supreme Court trial that has concluded and is awaiting judgment.
- He argued that assigning instruction to prosecutors is necessary to confront transnational and digital crime and urged a justice system closer to citizens as “problem-solvers, not creators.”
- Carmen Eiró took office as the first woman to lead the Fiscalía Superior de Galicia, a post for which she was proposed by García Ortiz, with both sharing backgrounds in environmental prosecution.
- Eiró outlined priorities that include gender-based violence, school bullying, protection of older people and people with disabilities, drug trafficking, forest and mountain protection, corruption, and emerging digital crimes.
- Eiró publicly defended García Ortiz’s prudence and commitment to legality during the ceremony while pledging institutional cooperation and a citizen-focused Fiscalía.
