09.06.2025Day the Attorney General Was Charged
Spain's Attorney General García Ortiz was formally charged by the Supreme Court for allegedly leaking confidential information about Madrid president Ayuso's boyfriend's tax case. The court stated this occurred following "indications from the Government Presidency," directly implicating Moncloa. García Ortiz faces up to four years in prison and five years of disqualification but refuses to resign.

The PP immediately demanded his resignation and called on Sánchez's coalition partners to abandon the government, claiming they are "endorsing corruption." Two of three prosecutor associations joined calls for García Ortiz's departure, declaring the situation "unsustainable."

The development escalated the post-demonstration pressure on Sánchez following Saturday's massive protests. Meanwhile, Alcaraz's Roland Garros victory provided a brief respite from political coverage, with media celebrating his second Paris title and fifth Grand Slam at the same age Nadal achieved this milestone.
