An appearance in which Alberto González Amador, a couple of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and accused of fiscal fraud, as “exemplary citizen” has referred. The entrepreneur asks for almost half a million euros to several politicians, including Bolaños himself, for having referred to him as “confessed fraud.”
Several representatives of the opposition parties and Junts have referred to the procedural situation of García Ortiz, charged in the Supreme Court for the alleged filtration of an email in which the lawyer of the Ayuso couple recognized having disappointed 350,000 euros. After showing his “respect for the cause”, Bolaños has defended that the attorney general was dedicated to refusing “information that was false of all falsehood, was half truth and changed what had happened. It seemed that it was the prosecution that sought an agreement with this man, the exemplary citizen, and yet the reality was the opposite, the exemplary citizen was looking for an agreement not to enter prison. ”
“What the Prosecutor’s Office did was clarify that information,” said the minister about the origin of the cause in which García Ortiz remains accused: a statement issued by the Public Ministry on the morning of March 14 to deny a series of bulos of the case, largely disseminated by the environment of Ayuso and his chief of cabinet. The reality was that González Amador offered to accept eight months in jail in exchange for recognizing his crimes, agreeing his debts and not effectively stepping on the prison.

Let’s not cheat the lonely, it is an ultras nest to filter documents, videos, chase humorists, politicians, family members, journalists … and therefore clear that it must be regulated, ”he explained, defending that the Supreme Court itself has urged a limitation of the presence of political parties in judicial processes.
Several spokesmen of opposition parties have shown their rejection of this future reform, but also Enrique Santiago, spokesman to add and lawyer of the popular accusation in several causes of corruption in the last decade. “PP corruption cases could not have been pursued without popular accusation. We do not prevent citizens from exercising that popular accusation, ”he said.

Throughout his appearance, the Minister of Justice has defended that the Government undertakes “the greatest transformation of justice in decades”, extolling measures such as scholarships for opponents or the incorporation of substitute judges. “There are 913 in our country in a situation of absolute precariousness,” he explained before denying that they will be designated in some way by the government by affinity: “They are elected and selected the superior courts and appoint them the Council of the Judiciary. The intervention of the Ministry of Justice is zero, ”he said.
