Political Reactions to New Prosecutor General Appointment

Political parties have already reacted to the government's proposal for the successor to Álvaro García Ortiz, who resigned after the ruling that convicted him for the disclosure of confidential data of Alberto Gómez Amador, who headed the State Prosecutor's Office. As expected, the reactions are in line with each party's position. «Today it is clear to us that Pedro Sánchez wanted to remain President of the Government after the July 2023 elections because he needed the state institutions, and especially the State Prosecutor's Office, to defend his Government, his party, and his personal environment from the judicial cases he already knew were pursuing and harassing him,» Tellado explained to the media at an informational breakfast. «Teresa Peramato is a prosecutor of proven solvency, committed to feminism and equality,» they say from the ruling coalition party. «We were aware of the Ministry of Justice's proposal and we celebrate that we have a shared criterion on this matter.»
