The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, criticized the “shameful” ruling of the Supreme Court against the State Prosecutor, Álvaro García Ortiz, which in his opinion “will go down in history” as one of the “most blatant attempts by the reactionary judiciary to interfere in the political life of the country.”
This was expressed on Monday in the framework of the “Media Breakfasts of the European Press”, after García Ortiz officially tendered his resignation following the ruling that imposes a two-year ban from his position for the crime of disclosing secrets against Alberto González Amador – partner of the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso -.
Urtasun, who is also Somar’s official spokesman, spoke about the performance of the legislature, noting that “no one ignores” that it is “difficult”, due to “criticism, attempts to legalize politics, institutional obstacles and reactionary attacks.”
He denounced “maneuvers such as the shameful conviction of the prosecutor, which will go down in history as one of the most blatant attempts by the reactionary judiciary to interfere in the political life of the country.”
Also speaking was the head of health and leader of MAS Madrid, Mónica García, who before Urtasun’s intervention said the following: “You have to be very suicidal to be happy with the prosecutor’s conviction.”
Despite these difficulties facing the current mandate, Urtasun stressed that this does not mean that the government “is not moving forward” and declared that they are “obligated” to continue promoting transformations in the country. Moreover, he promised that executive power would last until 2027 and would do so “well.”
In this way, he stressed that the executive will present new general state budgets for 2026, because Spain “needs stability, planning and horizon.”
