Overview
- Emiliano García-Page called the Supreme Court’s instruction in the case against Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz “impeccable,” saying judges are proceeding very carefully with concessions to the defense to preempt Constitutional Court challenges.
- He criticized the government’s fervent public support for García Ortiz, arguing that political wrapping fuels the notion the case is political rather than legal.
- Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently stated that the Attorney General is innocent, a stance García-Page contrasted by warning that such declarations do not help the defense.
- García Ortiz is being tried in the Supreme Court over the alleged leak of reserved data tied to businessman Alberto González Amador, who is the partner of Madrid regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
- García-Page urged the PSOE to file a complaint against party operative Leire Díez and warned of a growing perception of corruption while also describing the national legislature as a dead-end due to reliance on “contra natura” pacts and the absence of budgets.
