Strong defense of the president of the Government, Pedro Sanchezto the state attorney general, Alvaro Garcia Ortizcharged by the Supreme Court for the alleged leak of several emails exchanged between the lawyer of Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner and the Prosecutor’s Office. Sánchez has assured that García Ortiz “has done his job” and “what he had to do”, which is “persecuting the criminal” and “fighting misinformation and hoaxes.” In fact, for Sánchez it is the Madrid president who should resign.
“We need the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, demand responsibilities from his boss, Isabel Díaz Ayusowhich cannot be other than the resignation of the president,” Sánchez stated in a press conference after the meeting of the European Council in Brussels (Belgium).
Sánchez has thus supported García Ortiz after the Supreme Court opened proceedings against him for alleged revelation of secrets. “We respect the position of the Supreme Court, but we support the action of the attorney general because he has done his jobwhat he had to do” which, according to Sánchez, is “fight misinformation and hoax” and “persecute the criminal.”
Furthermore, he highlighted that the news of the attorney general’s indictment “probably allows us to remember the origin of all this” which, as he said, is that “the chief of staff [Miguel Ángel Rodríguez] of the president, then the partner of this confessed criminal, spreads a hoax to place the lie on the side of the State Attorney General’s Office.
In this regard, Sánchez has demanded “explanations” and “responsibilities” from the PP, specifically, the resignation of the Madrid president, “who is the partner of a confessed criminal, who has defrauded the Treasury,” said the president, who He had already asked for Ayuso’s resignation on other occasions..
The general secretary of the socialists has also accused Ayuso’s partner of having “profited and enriched themselves with masks” during the covid pandemic. At this point, Sánchez has slipped that Ayuso could have “indirectly benefited” from this situation. “No one from the PP has assumed any political responsibility and it has not been demanded,” he noted.
For this reason, the president of the Government has criticized that the PP “demands responsibilities” and “lessons from the Koldo casewhich leaves the former minister of his Government and the former Secretary of Organization, José Luis Ábalos, on the brink of indictment. “This law of the funnel does not hold,” he added. And he has also taken the opportunity to emphasize that the socialists “demanded” his deputy’s certificate and opened an expulsion file, which is still in the process of being resolved.
