The spokeswoman for the Spanish Government, Pilar Alegría, criticized today that there are "some judges who are doing things that are difficult to understand" after the Supreme Court decided to prosecutethe Attorney General of the State, Alvaro García Ortiz, for a crime of disclosure of secrets.
At the press conference following the Council of Ministers, the spokesman for the Spanish Government stated that the Executive has "full confidence in justice, honesty and the good work of most of the judges and prosecutors in this country", although he added that "it is clear that some judges are doing things that are difficult to understand with this".
"This government has always defended and respected the integrity of most judges and prosecutors in this country, but it is clear that some judges are making decisions that are difficult to understand," he added.
The Spanish Government reiterates its "full confidence" in the Attorney-General's Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office for the "excellent work they always do to punish the crime".
Moreover, the spokesman for the Spanish Government has "strongly" denied that the Presidency has instructed the Attorney-General's Office: "This has never happened, and we regret that the Supreme Court has made such assertions without any evidence."
In this regard, he points out that there is no indication that the Attorney General of the State leaked anything in the decision of the Supreme Court judge, Angel Hurtado , and that there is a "large number of statements" of journalists who have sworn many hours earlier that they had the information in their hands and that García Ortiz had not leaked it.
However, he has denounced that "all these testimonies have been thrown directly into the trash or not taken into account ", although he has recalled that the resolution is not final and can therefore be appealed.
