The magazines, exultant with the conviction of the prosecutor

The conviction of the Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, for the crime of disclosing classified information has generated a climate of triumph on the morning shows of Antena 3 and Telecinco. Ana Rosa Quintana began her program with one of those monologues she reads with pride, due to the forcefulness of a commanding text that she follows to the letter:Who will apologize to the citizens? Who will apologize to the justice system? Who will apologize to the checks and balances on power? These apologies should come from the president for issuing a verdict before the judges could, for declaring innocent the prosecutor who was under his command."Quintana called García Ortiz"the prosecutor with a removable robe"and assured that Pedro Sánchez"He wants to go down in history by killing Montesquieu, and he has succeeded."On the enormous screen that dominates the set and the panelists' table, giant letters announced..."prosecutor convicted"with a black and white photograph of the protagonist with a defeated expression.

To the competition, Public Mirror The Supreme Court's ruling was presented as a power struggle between Ayuso and Sánchez, from which the president of the Community of Madrid emerged victorious. They emphasized that García Ortiz was the first Attorney General in history to be convicted. The set was filled with the most damning press headlines against him, to accentuate a kind of public humiliation. One of the central topics of discussion on the talk show was the assessment of one of the emeritus Supreme Court justices. José Antonio Martín Pallín had compared the conviction to a coup d'état, and, coincidentally, Susanna Griso had him connected live from his home. They had been announcing his testimony for some time with a warning on screen:A former Supreme Court judge surprises with his wordsGriso, with a tone of severe concern, even with an evident condescension regarding the motives that could have led that man to reach that conclusion, asked him:What arguments is he basing this on? Because he's treating the Supreme Court justices like activists...Martín Pallín attempted to provide legislative justifications, but was constantly refuted by the program's panelists. The distance and the online format put him at a clear disadvantage. Once again, the presenter resorted to her theatrical skills. She invited Joaquín Manso, director ofThe Worldto congratulate him for being the media trigger that started the whole scandal. Griso didn't seat Manso at the table; instead, two stools were placed directly in front of him, with his back to the other guests. She positioned him in the pole position The television crew appeared on screen to pay tribute to him and invited him to challenge Martín Pallín live on air. How did it end? The retired magistrate was left speechless, effectively ending the conversation. For the private networks, it was a morning that tasted like victory, a chance to prove themselves right and confirm the theories they had been defending for many months.
