Overview
- Pedro Sánchez told EL PAÍS the government believes Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz is innocent as his Supreme Court trial continues.
- In a formal communiqué, the Asociación de Fiscales accused Sánchez of trying to usurp judicial functions and to delegitimize the courts, urging institutional neutrality and mutual respect.
- García Ortiz is being tried for an alleged revelation of secrets tied to information about Alberto González Amador, the partner of Madrid regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
- Reports say the proceedings have passed their midpoint, with many early witnesses favoring the defense while the complainant offered a sharply opposing account.
- Socialist regional leader Emiliano García‑Page argued García Ortiz would defend himself better outside the Fiscalía and declined to judge guilt, as the court is set to close witness appearances on Thursday.
