The president of the Govern, Marga Prohens, said Thursday that the recent conviction by the Supreme Court of the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, “disqualifies everything that Pedro Sánchez represents”, a reaction that came hours after learning of the ruling, as published by the autonomous leader in a message on X.
The Supreme Court imposed two years of disqualification and a fine of 7,200 euros to García Ortiz for a crime of disclosure of secrets related to documentation on Alberto González Amador, partner of the president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom he must compensate with 10,000 euros for moral damages. In her commentary, Prohens stressed that the judicial decision affects “a way of understanding politics”.
In her message, the Balearic leader said that “the Supreme Court condemns much more than an attorney general of the State”, a phrase with which she linked the resolution of the High Court with what she described as an institutional degradation associated with the central government. The president denounced “mud, anything goes and lies” as practices that, in her opinion, are disallowed by the ruling.
The condemnation
The ruling was not unanimous. The Chamber was supported by judges Andrés Martínez Arrieta, Manuel Marchena, José Ramón Berdugo, Antonio del Moral and Carmen Lamela, while progressive judges Ana Ferrer and Susana Polo issued a dissenting vote.
The resolution was adopted barely a week after the conclusion of a trial considered historic, as it was the first time that a state attorney general sat in the dock.
