Government seeks Supreme Court's intervention to overturn bail granted to the Prosecutor General: labeled as unwarranted

In a series of developments, the Spanish State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, is set to stand trial following accusations of revealing confidential information.

The Supreme Court has agreed to open an oral trial against García Ortiz, a move that has been met with controversy and support in equal measure. The magistrate Ángel Hurtado sent García Ortiz to trial, considering that he coordinated the leak about an investigation for fiscal crimes against Alberto González Amador, the boyfriend of the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The charges against García Ortiz, according to the head of government, lack consistency. In a recent interview on 'TVE', the head of government reiterated his support for García Ortiz and asserted his belief in his innocence. The Executive remains firm in its defense of García Ortiz and questions the Supreme Court's decision to prosecute him.

The complaint against García Ortiz was filed by Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (CNDH). The magistrate estimates that García Ortiz committed a crime of revealing secrets by facilitating confidential information to a communication medium. However, the Executive maintains its belief in García Ortiz's innocence, with Pilar Alegría, the spokesperson for the Executive, reiterating the Executive's support for García Ortiz in a press conference.

Meanwhile, the Government considers the 150,000 euro bail set for García Ortiz to be excessive. The magistrate sets a 150,000 euro bail for García Ortiz to ensure the total of the pecuniary responsibilities, including a possible indemnification for moral damages to González Amador.

Elsewhere in Spain, an unrelated incident has caused concern. Provisional imprisonment, communicated and without bail, was ordered for the driver in a fatal hit-and-run in Ibiza.

In a separate development, Vox has filed a complaint against Pedro Sánchez, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Félix Robles, and the presidents of PP-led regional governments for their handling of wildfires.

Despite these challenges, the Spanish Executive maintains confidence in García Ortiz, with different government sources criticizing the decision of the High Court and pointing out that they expected it and are not surprised by it. The Government believes that García Ortiz is being judged for telling the truth.

In a bizarre turn of events, dead turkeys were found at a kindergarten in Seville, but the incident is not believed to be related to the ongoing legal proceedings.
