The State Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz has convened a Fiscal Council for next June 8 with the intention of making various discretionary appointments of the fiscal leadership, including the prosecutor of the Democratic Memory Room, a position to which the former aspires Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, before the Government of Pedro Sánchez comes into office.

According to tax sources reported to EL MUNDO, the fixing of the aforementioned Fiscal Council yesterday caught the members of this body by surprise, who had already been informed of the holding of another Council meeting scheduled for June 19. The councilors were summoned yesterday to this new meeting on the 8th, where the only point on the agenda is the aforementioned discretionary contest. García Ortiz’s call came two hours after President Sánchez announced the electoral advance.

The mere express call of the Fiscal Council generated both surprise and discomfort among multiple councilors who make up the body and who consider that García Ortiz’s “maneuver” involves appointing Delgado as prosecutor of Democratic Memory before he is dismissed as attorney general along with the Socialist government after the general elections on July 23.

The Attorney General submits his appointment proposal to the Government, with the Council of Ministers making the last decision. However, within the prosecutorial career and the political spheres it is an open secret that Delgado has spent years moving to be appointed prosecutor of Democratic Memory.

García Ortiz has already promoted her to the highest category of the Prosecutor’s Office, as a prosecutor in the robed Chamber, as soon as her successor in office was named. If now, as is foreseeable, they decide to propose her for prosecutor of the Democratic Memory Room, her appointment will not be peaceful.

Together with Delgado, prosecutors Juan Carlparsoro, Luis Ibáñez Cuesta and Carlos Castresana aspire to said position.

For his part, he is also expected to propose to the Executive the appointment of the Chamber prosecutor against Hate crimes, another slot for new creation. Prosecutors sources report that prosecutors Juan Calparsoro, Antonio Mateos Rodriguez, Pilar Rodriguez Fernandez and Miguel Angel Aguilar are running for office.
