Most of the investiture has strongly criticized the conviction of Garcia Ortiz
Although it is stated that a better assessment will be made after the full judgement has been analysed, the first opinions of PSOE, SUP, ERC and PNV on the judgment speak of "judicial coup" or "judicialization of politics".
The parties that formed the majority to allow the investiture of Pedro Sánchez have strongly criticized the imposition on the Attorney General of the State, Alvaro García Ortiz, of two years' disqualification for disclosure of secrets. They have stated that they will assess the sentence once it is complete, but in the first opinions they have spoken of "judicial coup" and "judicialization of politics".
As the Government has done, the PSOEhas stated in a statement that it "respects" the ere sentence but does not share it, but that it will wait for the full content of the sentence to be known.
The party also wanted to acknowledge the work of the Attorney-General, "his commitment to the law, the truth and the independence of public institutions".
However, the PSOE spokesman in Congress, Patxi Lopez , has described the outcome of the judgment as "shameful." He has reported that they will comply with the sentence, but has acknowledged that "knowing what we know about the whole process, I find it shameful."
The other partner in the coalition government, Sintre, believes that the Supreme's conviction is a "judicial coup." It has seemed to the left-wing party "the clearest proof that some sections of the judiciary have decided to engage in the political struggle against the government," he said in a statement.
Sources of the movement have defined it in their statements as "an attempt to influence democratic life" and have recalled that this decision is based on "weak indications, without a single test."
The party's coordinator , Lara Hernandez, has linked the ruling to a phrase released by Maria Aznar in 2023 in which she said that "whoever can do it" when she spoke about the investiture and the Amnesty Act and Hernandez believes that this decision has also gone that way.
For her part, the Secretary General of Podemos , Ione Belarra, has defined the Supreme's ruling on the social network X as "pure judicial coup" and has assured that "the judicial right has killed García Ortiz in a civil manner to cover up the corruption of Ayuso and her boyfriend."
Esquerra Republicana (ERC) 's congressional spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, has also spoken on social media about the ruling against the lazy prosecutor.
Meanwhile, the PNV sees Garcia Ortiz's conviction as an example of "judicialization of politics," which "harms everyone," Congress spokeswoman Maribel Cowboy said on social network X.
The jeltzale spokesman has expressed his "surprise" that the ruling will be "thoroughly" analysed.
