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.
