Teresa Peramato Is Sworn In as Spain’s Attorney General With a Call for Dialogue

She begins a four-year term vowing to repair the prosecutor’s office after her predecessor’s conviction.

Overview

  • Peramato took office in a brief ceremony at the Supreme Court, selecting María Ángeles Sánchez Conde and Félix Pantoja as sponsors in a choice seen as signaling continuity.
  • At a second event at the Prosecutor General’s Office, she told senior prosecutors that the institution is a collective and pledged to listen and build consensus.
  • She publicly thanked Álvaro García Ortiz, who attended his first public act since the Supreme Court convicted him for revealing reserved information, which led to his removal.
  • The inauguration drew top judicial and political figures, including Supreme Court president Isabel Perelló, Justice Minister Félix Bolaños and Ombudsman Ángel Gabilondo.
  • She named Julio Cano Antón, until now Balearic chief prosecutor, as head of the Technical Secretariat to serve as her top aide.
