Two associations of prosecutors and one of the judges have asked the Attorney General of the State, Alvaro García Ortiz, not to attend the opening ceremony of this Friday's judicial year, which they believe should not go "out of respect" because he is being prosecuted and awaiting trial in the Supreme Court.
The Professional Association of the Judiciary, the Association of Prosecutors and the Professional and Independent Association of Prosecutors have issued a note to preventGarcía Ortizfrom participating in the event, attended by the King of Spain, Felipe VI, and the President of the General Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court, Isabel Perello.
In the letter, the associations point out that the fact that any of the defendants sit with the King is "absolutely unusual"and "an act of contempt against the fundamental principle of the rule of law" and that there is a risk that it will harm the credibility of justice and the judicial and fiscal career.
They also stress that they respect the presumption of innocence of García Ortiz, but point out that "respect for the institutions and for what they representis above particular interests ".
The president of the Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has confirmed that he will not attend the opening of the judicial year. In a message broadcast on the social network X, he has explained that he does not want to "advocate an unprecedented institutional shock."
Feijóo has accused the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, of "tarnishing" the opening of the judicial year by keeping a prosecuted attorney general at the head of the institution and allowing him to intervene in the Supreme Court.
The Government's response came through the Minister for the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, who described Feijóo's decision as "a serious disregard for the King and the institutions" and recalled that "respect for democratic institutionsis essential in the rule of law ".
