Overview

• The Supreme Court ruled in favor of PP Senator Eva Ortiz, ordering the government to deliver over 9,000 reports from the Ministry of Finance issued in late 2023.
• The government had denied Ortiz's request, citing the large volume of documents and suggesting she narrow the scope, which the court deemed insufficient justification.
• The court emphasized legislators' constitutional right to access public information for government oversight, rejecting claims that the request was ambiguous or disproportionate.
• The rulings, authored by magistrate Alicia Millán, require the government to comply within 30 days and impose up to €4,000 in legal costs on the State Advocacy.
• This decision reinforces the principle of parliamentary oversight and raises broader questions about executive transparency and access to administrative information.
