Bad times for the state attorney general, Dolores Delgado. If just a few days ago she received a setback from the Supreme Court for her arbitrariness in the appointment of a Chamber prosecutor, one of the many questioned, yesterday was severely punished for the race in the elections to the Fiscal Council, the body that represents the prosecutors and serves as a counterweight to the management of the attorney general.

Delgado has lost control of the Fiscal Council as his related association, the Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF), remains with two of the four members that he had, whose votes, together with the support of the two ex officio members (the head of the Inspection, María Antonia Sanz Gaite and that of the lieutenant prosecutor, María Ángeles Sánchez Conde) had been decisive to place his affines in the Board of Prosecutors, the leadership of the Public Ministry.

This appointment policy, together with his management of the Stampa case or the paralysis of the Ethics Commission of the Prosecutor’s Office after the collapse of its related associations, has taken its toll on Delgado. So much so that the race has turned to the Association of Prosecutors (AF), whose six candidates have entered the body adding one to the vowels it already had. The ninth place in contention is for the president of the Independent Professional Association of Prosecutors (APIF), Salvador Viada, one of the most combative profiles with the prosecutor’s management since he landed in Fortuny more than two years ago. It is significant that with only 50 members, the race has given him such support (552 votes) that places him at a significant distance from the first elected from UPF, Santiago Mena, with 498 votes.

The Fiscal Council, a body that in addition to appointments, participates, among other matters, in preliminary project reports, is thus left with six members of the AF (Jorge Andújar, María Isabel Gómez, Eva María Más, Miguel Rodríguez, Roberto Valverde and Beatriz Sánchez) two from UPF (Mena and Rocío Ortiz) and one from APIF (Viada). Although just a few weeks ago, Delgado already renewed key positions in the fiscal leadership with criticism of the favoritism with the likes of his association, at least until he completes his term. the new Fiscal Council will scrutinize each one of its movements.

For months now, the wear and tear of the attorney general has been perceived, even within the association in which Delgado herself ‘acted’ until she became Minister of Justice for Pedro Sánchez, UPF itself. And good proof of this is the letter signed a few days ago by half of the Board of Prosecutors (the Sanhedrin of the race)asking him to react to the amendment that the Socialist Group introduced through the back door in the reform of the Bankruptcy Law, an amendment with which, in addition to rewarding the attorney general with a promotion after her dismissal, leaves the Public Ministry naked in sensitive investigations by providing that it reports the course of the same to the Government. “The establishment of an obligation for the State Attorney General to inform the Government, even on his own initiative, about the Matters of special importance that due to their nature and relevance should be known unequivocally represents a strengthening of the relationship of dependency of the State Attorney General with respect to the Government, and with it the institution itself, as well as a important breakdown of autonomy and independence with respect to that, which is absolutely incompatible with the constitutional model of the Public Prosecutor’s Office,” said that letter. Among the signatories, there were three courtroom prosecutors from UPF, one of them the former State Attorney General María José Segarra.
