The PP affirmed the resignation of the “Complete Government” after hearing the sentence against Álvaro García Ortiz. This was conveyed on his social networks by the general secretary of the party, Miguel Tellado, who highlighted the responsibility of the Executive for defending anyone “violated its enhanced duty of confidentiality without justification“, as indicated in the judicial resolution. For its part, the Popular Party sent a brief statement to the media in which it affirms that it is a judgment which confirms that the Attorney General of the State “acted under the protection and orders of the President of the Government”.
These were the first reactions of the Popular Party to the publication of the judgment of the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court against García Ortiz, in which the highest judicial body concluded that He or “someone around him”, to his knowledge, disclosed the email in which the lawyer of Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner He admitted that his client had committed two crimes of tax fraud. The court also bases the sentence on the publication of a press release in which this information was collected, already published in the media.
Tellado thus described the High Court’s decision as “historic”, insofar as it condemns for the first time in a democracy a state attorney general, and asked the resignation of the Government “in its entirety” for having defended someone who “broke his reinforced duty of reserve without justification”. Likewise, popular territorial barons, such as María Guardiola and Alfonso Rueda, have also spoken out on the subject. “I think it’s a shame for the institutions,” warned the woman from Extremadura, while the Galician declared that the sentence “accredits the partisan use” of the Prosecutor’s Office.
At the same time, the most popular ones went into detail through a statement and indicated that “Pedro Sánchez’s Attorney General is a criminal sentenced to death“, as well as the fact that he acted “under the protection and orders of the President of the Government”. Concretely, from the PP, they maintain that the sentence condemns the person “who pressed the button, but not the one who ordered it“, and they directly designate the head of the Executive. “The government uses the Prosecutor’s Office, the CEI and all the means at its disposal to attack the PP”, they denounce.
Thus, the PP considers this sentence as “another milestone of a government that promised to fight corruption and institutionalized it”, at the same time as the sentence “points” to the Sánchez government. In this sense, the popular criticize Moncloa and Ferraz for “not asking the Spaniards for forgiveness, but for attacking the judges and declaring that they do not share it.” despite the fact that in the PP they celebrate that the judicial resolution confirms that Spain has “an independent justice that functionswhere no one, regardless of the state attorney general, can be above the law. » This is why the people indicated that this Tuesday is “a great day for democracy”, but also “a bad day for a president who, If he had any dignity, he should follow in the footsteps of his former prosecutor and resign.“·
