The Supreme Court's condemnation of Attorney General García Ortiz dominated headlines throughout the day. Early reports in the late morning confirmed the court found Ortiz, or someone in his circle, filtered the email of Ayuso's partner and authorized a press release, breaching a reinforced duty of secrecy. Multiple outlets provided detailed coverage of the 233-page sentence.
In the afternoon, the focus remained on the verdict, with some dissent noted regarding the evidence, and the PP calling Ortiz the "first Attorney General we can call a delinquent." By evening, President Sánchez publicly questioned the Supreme Court's verdict, defending Ortiz and asserting that Ayuso should be the one to apologize, shifting the political narrative.
