The PP calls for Sánchez’s resignation following the conviction of the attorney general
The spokesperson of the PP in Congress, Ester Muñoz, asked this Thursday for the resignation of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, after the Supreme Court had sentenced the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, to a two-year ban and a fine of 7,200 euros.
“Sánchez must apologize to the Spanish people, resign and call elections. In that order. There is nothing left,” Muñoz wrote in a message on the social network.
Muñoz made these statements a few minutes after learning of the conviction for the crime of disclosure of confidential data in connection with the leak of an email admitting fraud to the Treasury by Isabel Díaz’s partner Ayuso.
Just a week after the trial concluded – the first in which a state attorney general was placed on the bench – the high court advanced a ruling that will have two of the seven justices voting against it.
The progressive judges Ana María Ferrer and Susana Polo do not agree with the decision of their colleagues, which led the president of the Criminal Chamber, Andrés Martínez Arrieta, to take charge of presenting the sentence.
A resolution which, as announced by the Supreme Court, also requires Álvaro García Ortiz to pay compensation of 10,000 euros for moral damages to the partner of the Madrid president, Alberto González Amador, and to pay the procedural issues of the trial. (Eph)
