Feijóo Boycotts King-Led Judicial Opening as Prosecutor General, Processed by Supreme Court, Plans to Speak

Major associations urge his abstention to protect decorum before the King.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court has upheld the processing of Fiscal General Álvaro García Ortiz for alleged revelation of secrets in a case tied to Alberto González Amador.
  • Despite his status, García Ortiz delivered the Fiscalía’s annual report to Felipe VI and remains slated to address Friday’s ceremony at the Supreme Court.
  • The main judges’ and prosecutors’ associations — APM, AF and APIF — issued a joint statement asking him to stay away from the event out of respect for the Crown and the judiciary.
  • PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo confirmed he will not attend, calling the situation an unprecedented institutional clash, while the government condemned the boycott as a grave slight to the King and institutions.
  • Judicial sources report widespread discomfort over his participation but say magistrates will maintain decorum during the ceremony; the underlying case linked to Ayuso’s partner has prompted an appeal and new expert report from his defense.
