On Sunday, a large-scale demonstration unfolded in the heart of Madrid near the Supreme Court (Tribunal Supremo) building. Hundreds of city residents gathered to show their support for the country’s Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz. The event became a significant occasion for Madrid, drawing the attention not only of ordinary citizens but also of members of the judicial system.
Notable figures stood out among those present: former Minister of Justice and judge Dolores Delgado, as well as former judge Baltasar Garzón. Their appearance was met with enthusiastic applause and brought energy to the gathering. The presence of such prominent individuals lent special weight to the event and highlighted its importance for Spanish society.
Participants at the demonstration remained orderly and did not disturb public order. People arrived with banners and symbols, peacefully and calmly expressing their stance. The atmosphere was filled with solidarity and unity, despite the tension surrounding the Attorney General that prompted the gathering.
Many attendees noted that they felt it was important to publicly support García Ortiz during this challenging time for him. In their view, actions like these are crucial for strengthening trust in the authorities and the country’s judicial system. There was no aggression or provocation outside the court that day—just the desire to be heard and to make their civic position known.
The event concluded without incident. Participants gradually dispersed, leaving behind a sense of unity and determination to defend the independence of the judiciary. For many, this day became a symbol of support not only for an individual, but also for the principles on which Spanish justice is built.
