The attorney general defends giving Delgado functions similar to those of the future prosecutor of democratic memory: "It is ideal"

The PP points out that it could be "an early appointment"

EUROPA PRESS, 16 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, has defended this Thursday his decision to approve a decree in which he grants his predecessor and current prosecutor in the Military Chamber of the Supreme Court (TS), Dolores Delgado, functions similar to those that the future prosecutor of democratic memory will have, assuring that he was "the ideal person".

The head of the Public Prosecutor's Office explained that he was one for two reasons, firstly, his professional career and, secondly, because the operation of the Fifth Chamber of the Supreme Court "has relieved that Prosecutor's Office of a lot of work and allows it to be able to reconcile these functions".

In line, he wanted to clarify that "this does not mean an anticipation of anything", stating that he does not know who is going to compete for the position of prosecutor of the democratic memory room. "I completely ignore it", she has riveted herself, during the Senate Justice Commission to present the annual report of the Prosecutor's Office.

Thus, he has stressed that this position cannot be awarded until it has been created and for this the royal decree that extends the organic staff of the Public Ministry must be approved, to which he has urged to "proceed with the appointment, creation and commissioning in progress of this Prosecutor's Office".

García Ortiz thus responded to the PP senator Fernando de Rosa, who asked him directly if this assignment to Delgado "is not an early appointment", warning that this could "demoralize" and "disincentivize" prosecutors interested in the position .
