The PP enthusiastically celebrated the conviction of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, sentenced by the Supreme Court to a two-year disqualification for the crime of revealing secrets, and the payment of compensation of 10,000 euros to the entrepreneur Alberto González Amador, partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and tried for fraud against the Treasury. The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, called on the president of the government to apologize to the citizens and pay homage to the Supreme Court. “The only way to avoid further institutional embarrassment is to apologize to the Spanish people for this crude political operation and show their respect to the Supreme Court,” Feijóo wrote on the social network. The People’s Party believe that “the disqualification of Álvaro García Ortiz excludes the president of the government from continuing”, declared the general secretary of the PP, Miguel Tellado, on his account on the social network
Today the PP adds a new reason to its list of arguments for calling for the resignation of Pedro Sánchez and the calling of elections, as it has done practically since the beginning of the legislature. The Popular Party calls on the President of the Government to apologize to the Spanish people for having defended the innocence of the Attorney General and to urge them to “follow the path” of García Ortiz.
“Today the State Attorney General was convicted by the Supreme Court for the crime of revealing secrets. “Who will apologize to the Public Prosecutor?” asked Miguel Tellado in X. “Nobody, Mr. Sánchez. It is you who must apologize to the Spanish people for having disturbed the democratic normality of this country. He must follow the path of HIS attorney general,” concludes the number two of Feijóo.
Top popular leaders called on Sánchez on social networks to apologize and call elections. “Sánchez must apologize to the Spanish people, resign and call elections. In that order. There is no more,” urged the PP’s parliamentary spokeswoman, Ester Muñoz. The deputy secretary for Institutional Regeneration of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, recalled the words of the President of the Government in which he stated that “the truth will prevail”. “Yes, the truth has prevailed: the state attorney general, convicted and banned,” observed Gamarra, who added: “Whoever must prosecute the crimes committed them.” “The Sanchist degeneration is total, but the law is the same for everyone,” denounced the popular deputy secretary.
The ruling also surprised the PP. It has been privately admitted in leading popular circles in recent weeks that there was no certainty that the Supreme Court would convict García Ortiz given how the trial developed. However, the High Court, with a majority of five of the seven judges, went beyond the expectations of the PP, who will now benefit politically from the ruling.
The PP wants to give maximum prominence to the prosecutor general’s conviction, which is why Feijóo himself appeared at the party headquarters this afternoon in an impromptu statement following the news. The People’s Party had already raised their decibels against the Government again this Wednesday, after the UCO report on former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán. The general secretary of the PP, Miguel Tellado, predicted yesterday that “everyone will fall and Sánchez will fall with everyone”, referring to those involved in the corrupt plot.
However, despite all the scandals that the PP celebrates around the progressive Executive, Génova still does not see, for the moment, having to promote a motion of censure against Sánchez to bring down the government politically. The PP leadership has many doubts about an operation with great political risks for the PP, because it would have to add Vox and Junts to the equation, so for the moment it is raising its tone but not making any moves.
