The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchezis increasingly cornered. The cases Begona, Koldo, abalos and the legal investigation against his own brother surrounds him more and more, and now the accusation of the attorney general of the state whom he appointed, Alvaro Garcia Ortiz, ended up giving it the finishing touches. During the press conference this Thursday afternoon in Brussels, following the summit of heads of state and government of the European Union, Pedro Sánchez showed a certain nervousness by extending his attacks against the chief of staff of the Madrid president. Miguel Angel Rodriguez.
Pedro Sánchez adopted a harsh tone against Ayuso and his partner, following the strategy used by the government regarding the famous data leaks from Ayuso’s partner to government-linked media. The head of the Executive attacked Rodríguez, assuring that “the origin of all this (the Attorney General’s accusation) is thatthe chief of staff of the president of the Community of Madrid, at the time partner of this confessed criminal, spread a hoax to put a criminal’s lie on the side of the state attorney general’s office.
Pedro Sánchez thus accused Miguel Ángel Rodríguez of “spreading a hoax”, without specifying which one, but clearly referring to the version broadcast by media linked to the government.
Miguel Ángel Rodríguez published a partial extract of the emails exchanged between the defense of Alberto González Amador and the prosecution. In these emails, according to Rodríguez, it was suggested that the public prosecutor’s office had offered González Amador a deal to avoid prison for tax fraud of 350,000 euros, a deal that was allegedly retracted “by order from above.” However, the Madrid Public Prosecutor’s Office published the famous note on the González Amador data leak, according to which it was Ayudo’s partner who requested the pact and confessed guilty of tax fraud.
Rodríguez reaffirmed that “it was not a hoax, but an official email.” In addition, he accused the attorney general of committing “illegality” and demanded his resignation.
Sánchez asks Ayuso to resign
This Thursday, Sánchez asked the PP when he was going to hold Ayuso accountable “who is the partner of a confessed criminal, who defrauded the Treasury”, as he himself admitted and that she also took advantage of masks during the pandemic,” she then reiterated, before emphasizing that the regional leader “may have benefited indirectly from this situation.”
The general director launches another blow for García Ortizas the ministers have already done Felix Bolanos And Maria Jesus Montero and he assures that “he did his job”, which consists of prosecuting the crime and fighting “a hoax” and what is missing is that the national leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, demands the resignation of “his boss” as he mentioned it again to Díaz Ayuso.
Tax Council defeats García Ortiz
The absolute majority of Tax advice demands the resignation of Álvaro García Ortiz. Seven deputies against four took a position this Thursday in favor of the departure of the state attorney general after his indictment by the Supreme Court for a matter of revealing secrets. García Ortiz reaffirmed his position of not resigningarguing that their actions were based on “the duty to report on relevant issues to ensure the right of citizens to receive truthful information”. He maintains that after assessing the circumstances, he considered that its continuity was “the least painful and more prudent for the institution.
Members of the Association of Prosecutors present at the meeting stated that “you have to think on the question of whether the most practical thing for the public prosecutor’s office would be for its highest representative to be the subject of a judicial investigation for possible criminal responsibilities in the exercise of his functions.
