This Thursday marks the final session of the trial against the Attorney General of Spain, Álvaro García Ortiz, at the Supreme Court, where the prosecution and defense will present their closing arguments. The oral proceedings, which have heard testimony from dozens of witnesses, have remained unchanged since the beginning of the trial: it began without any direct incriminating evidence against García Ortiz and has concluded in the same way. However, the unprecedented situation of seeing an Attorney General in the dock has been witnessed. As a reminder, the Attorney General is accused of leaking an email from the lawyer of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's boyfriend, Alberto González Amador, in which he accepted a plea bargain with the Prosecutor's Office in exchange for his client admitting to two tax offenses. During Wednesday's session, Civil Guard Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Balas, head of the UCO (Central Operative Unit), was only able to testify that during the investigation, "the Attorney General's control over the entire process was evident." In other words, lacking conclusive evidence, the most the Civil Guard could offer at the trial was that "a domain was visible," that is, a supposition without any concrete supporting evidence. In previous sessions, a dozen journalists testified to having accessed the infamous email before the Attorney General, and in fact, the information was published minutes before his subordinates forwarded it to him. Based on what was seen at the trial, a conviction seems unimaginable, but it is also true that the Spanish justice system is notorious for making inexplicable decisions. However, what can no longer be repaired is the damage to the institution. The State Attorney General's Office has become a collateral victim of the all-out war between the PP and PSOE parties, and specifically of the war that the Madrid government under Ayuso is waging against Pedro Sánchez's administration. In this regard, it is well known that the PP and Vox enjoy considerable support within the judiciary, which has helped to prolong processes like this one or the one Judge Peinado is handling against Sánchez's wife. Because what has been proven in the trial is that Ayuso's chief of staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, fabricated a falsehood and spread it in chats with journalists until a media outlet, specifically The WorldHe published it. "I'm a journalist, not a notary," he argued, as if journalists didn't have to verify their information and had free rein to lie.

The day after the PP demonstration in Madrid, a Supreme Court ruling proposes a trial against the State Attorney GeneralThe crime of which Judge Ángel Hurtado considers him a suspect is the same one that the PP and the inevitable Ayuso have been attributing to him for months: disclosure of secrets. It is assumed that the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, would have requested, and circulated, an email from Ayuso's partner, the already famous González Amador, in which he asked for a pact with the Prosecutor's Office in exchange for admitting some of the fraudulent activities with which he has enriched himself. The toxic Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, pioneer of the criminal and arrogant rhetoric that has prevailed in Madrid politics, had already predicted it: the Attorney General was going to go forwardWell, here we have it. The Supreme Court not only agrees in this case with the hitman's opinion, but also with that of the gang leader (you see, we've ended up with a mafia analogy): everyone is aware of Aznar's order when he dropped the line "whoever can do it, let them do it."

The tension between Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, is escalating even further. The president of the Community of Madrid has managed to have the highest official in the public ministry charged for the leak of an email from her partner, the businessman Alberto González Amador, in which he admitted to having committed two tax crimes, and now the Prosecutor's Office is returning - in some way - with an exhaustive investigation of all cases of deaths in nursing homes. In his appearance in the Senate this Tuesday, García Ortiz announced that the Madrid Prosecutor's Office is reviewing one by one the complaints that the relatives presented in a collective judicial initiative on October 31.
