  • The State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, faces an unprecedented trial for revealing secrets, leading to a concerning institutional erosion.
  • García Ortiz has remained in his position despite his impeachment, considered an anomaly contrary to law and common sense.
  • The continuation of García Ortiz in his position reflects not only his servitude to the government, but also a patrimonial conception of the State that damages institutions and general interest.
  • The vast majority of the judicial career considers García Ortiz's situation a 'shame' for the Prosecution.
  • The trial originates from an operation against a political rival of the Government, making the Attorney General co-author of the PSOE's strategy against judges.
  • The prosecuting attorney himself erased evidence, representing an attack on the foundations of the practice of law.

Conclusion: The unprecedented situation in which García Ortiz faces a trial suggests the need for legal amendments to allow automatic dismissal of the prosecutor in similar cases. It also reflects the Government's contempt for institutions and the separation of powers.
