El Mundo congratulates the judges:
“The ruling is an expression of the strength of the Supreme Court. … In the face of alternative narratives from media outlets that claim to be ‘of reference’, and despite continuous government interference, the judiciary has taken action. … The government has always defended the attorney general unreservedly, while at the same time portraying the judiciary as a predominantly right-wing body. … Álvaro García Ortiz is now leaving office, convicted of a serious offence linked to his subservience to the interests of the government. This conviction therefore goes beyond him as an individual.”
