The current Attorney General of Spain has faced unprecedented attacks from the political right and legal challenges. These attacks have been fueled by false news, which Álvaro García Ortiz has sometimes successfully combated. Legal setbacks have stemmed, in part, from the favoritism shown towards Dolores Delgado, a former colleague of García Ortiz who was promoted to a senior position at the Supreme Court. This decision has raised suspicions of favoritism and led to legal challenges and scrutiny.
García Ortiz stands by his decision to promote Dolores Delgado, citing her merit and capability as reasons for her appointment. Despite legal challenges and criticisms, García Ortiz maintains his belief in Dolores Delgado’s qualifications for the position. The decision to promote a personal friend has sparked controversy and accusations of preferential treatment, raising questions about the integrity of the appointment process.
The Supreme Court’s decision to annul Delgado’s appointment has been a point of contention. García Ortiz defends the decision, stating that it was based on professional merit and the need for a civilian perspective within the military jurisdiction. The controversy surrounding the appointment and subsequent legal challenges have placed García Ortiz under intense scrutiny and criticism from various quarters.
The political and legal battles faced by García Ortiz have intensified, with accusations of undue influence and misconduct. The Prosecutor’s Office has been embroiled in a series of controversies, including accusations of pressuring a Supreme Court prosecutor in a high-profile terrorism case. García Ortiz vehemently denies these allegations and maintains his commitment to upholding the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary.
Despite facing relentless attacks and legal challenges, García Ortiz remains steadfast in his role as Attorney General, defending the institution against accusations of political interference and corruption. The ongoing controversies and legal disputes have put the credibility of the Attorney General’s Office under scrutiny, highlighting the complex dynamics between politics and the judicial system in Spain. As García Ortiz navigates these challenges, he remains committed to upholding the principles of justice and fairness in his role as the country’s top prosecutor.
