Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez commented on Sunday on the Supreme Court’s decision to convict the country’s Attorney General. The head of government stated that, while he respects the judicial system and is prepared to comply with its rulings, he disagrees with the Court’s interpretation of the case. Sánchez emphasized that his stance on the innocence of Álvaro García Ortiz remains unchanged.
According to the Prime Minister, his confidence is based on the testimony of experienced journalists who attended the hearings. These journalists, with substantial professional expertise, claimed that García Ortiz was not the source of the information leaks he was accused of. The accusations were brought by a partner of the president of the Madrid autonomous community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; however, in Sánchez’s view, no evidence was presented linking the prosecutor to these actions.
The situation surrounding the Attorney General has sparked widespread public debate. In Spain, discussions continue about the transparency of the judiciary and law enforcement, as well as the impact of political disagreements on high-profile cases. Despite the verdict, the Prime Minister publicly expressed his support for García Ortiz, a move that has fueled heated debate among politicians and experts.
