Inspector found guilty of pardillo | Notice

The news is here, now – as Wyoming would say – we are going to tell the truth. The news is that 19 days — and 500 nights — after publishing the condemnatory judgment against the State Fiscal General, the Supreme Court finally published the sentence, and there is no news.

What the sentence only contains is a sentence which sparked a great controversy on the networks: “It was the accused, or a person from his entourage, who delivered the letter for its publication”. A tweet from sociology professor Dani Valdivia sums it up this way: “If García Ortiz was sentenced this way, we can still end it the same way.”

The five judgments – the most conservative – which found Álvaro García Ortiz guilty did not recognize the criterion of the crime, the famous buzzing gun, the indisputable heir who became fiscal general and author of the filtration of the young courier of Isabel Díaz Ayuso; and the two juezas —the most progressive— who were not marked by the phrase highlighted in their private vote that, in fact, there were not sufficient reasons to condemn it, and they already believed that their colleagues had tried to convince García Ortiz. Perhaps because the inspector general was appointed by Pedro Sánchez, which in itself is not a good letter of recommendation, but rather a presumption of guilt.

In summary, for about five years – which appears curiously to the political sensitivity of the magistrates – Álvaro García Ortiz has become, after his 57 years and 27 of profession, first fiscal general of the condemned State. Why filter a private document…? Technically speaking, but especially for Pardillo, who is like in the battle of the police and the thieves, he is seen as a reckless, trusting, clumsy who has his condition written on his face at the mercy of the fact that, as happened to García Ortiz, someone crosses his path – in the sewers, in a watery voice – capable of taking advantage of him. coyunture. The affair tended to be gracious – except for the condemned, of course – if it was not nourished because the circumstances, the characters and the scenarios in which the function took place – the bulge thrown like an anzuelo, the complicit publication of a mutilated truth, the torpedo maneuver of the pardillo, the investigation of the case, the foreign judgment, the precipitous fall, the sentence… – these were the same circumstances, the same characters and the same scenarios of which the Filtration is treated daily as currency.

If someone, close to a ministry, a party, a tax council, a supreme court or a national audience, uttered – like Captain Renault in Casablanca – a “what a scandal, I discovered that it is filtering here!” “, he would be considered cynical. No, not all inspectors, not all juice, and above all, not all bad merchandise intended for unscrupulous journalists, but it is a common and tolerated practice in relations between power and the press. What then was the trigger for a disproportionate affair?

It would not be wrong to highlight the consequences and circumstances. On the night of March 13, García Ortiz went to Rome with Santiago – o sea, to a mattress inspector from an Atleti party – to publicly deny a news that Díaz Ayuso’s press manager had leaked to the daily El Mundo. These were not dead or inherited men, but rather a chanchullo of the new leader of the PP. If, instead of a fiscal general, he had been treated by a Vatican cardinal, he would have thought: “We saw a case like this in siglo XIII.” But the inspector, unfortunately, was impatient. What I was looking for was what we called circumstances. Extreme polarization. Sánchez’s agony to stay in power. Núñez Feijóo’s prize for winning a few elections before the tired guy, the one who helped us place in La Moncloa a politician with the charisma of José María Aznar, left the party. Finally.
