The ruling they are referring to is the same, but it may not seem so given the different reactions to it. While Ana Ponton believes that the former state prosecutor, Alvaro García Ortiz, was “Convicted without evidence”, … Alfonso Rueda charges ‘Extremely irresponsible political assessments’ José Ramon Gómez Bestero takes his own judicial journey to remember what it was like “Live injustice”.
The BNG spokesperson has no doubt that Garcia Ortiz’s conviction for exposing secrets is just that “The Lawfare Case” – That is, the use of justice for political purposes – “which, unfortunately, is not the first.” “If they were able to convict a prosecutor without evidence, what wouldn’t they do to any ordinary citizen,” Ponton was “on guard” in the face of a reality he considered “Very scandalous” This “endangers democracy.”
“It seems very dangerous to us that there are people who want to do politics “Because they do not accept the results of the elections,” the nationalist leader said, linking her decision to sentence García Ortiz to a two-year disqualification for providing secret public statements of Alberto González Amador, partner of the very popular President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, to a hypothetical electoral retaliation by Supreme Court judges. He will also have to compensate him in the amount of 10,000 euros. BNG’s position “will always be ‘be very clear,'” Ponton concluded. In defense of democracy and “condemnation of lawfare.”
In a veiled reference to such statements, Rais said “It may seem ideal to them if the sentence says what they like, He added: “I think they are evaluating themselves.”
For Rueda, “If you don’t like the ruling, all you have to do is appeal it,” but no “To get into the sack, in cases of complete personal disqualification.”. It seems particularly dangerous to him that “the whole government” is sending the message that “justice cannot be trusted at all simply because the judges did not say what they thought they should have said.” “It seems to me that this is very dangerous, if it has not already crossed the rules of democracy and separation of powers,” the Galician president concluded.
“Live injustice”
Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the PSdeG realizes that the sentence surprised “a lot of people” because “There are aspects that don’t make sense and that naturally raises concerns.” In his personal case, he says, “it particularly excites him” because he knows “what it means to feel wronged,” referring to the investigations into judicial cases, which were recently archived, in which he was immersed and which led him to relinquish the leadership of the German Socialist Party in 2016.
“All of this comes at a time when we are witnessing hate speech, Attacks on people’s homes, intolerable messages, and even young people saying life is better with a dictator. It is impossible not to worry. “Saying that very clearly is the minimum we should do,” Bestero added.
The socialist leader also noted that this weekend, rallies in support of García Ortiz were held in La Coruña and Santiago, among other parts of Galicia. They had fewer assistants than expected, since the former state attorney general He spent a large portion of his career in the community, Specializing in environmental issues.
