Good morning. This Wednesday marks the third day of the trial of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, for an alleged revelation of secrets in the tax fraud case of Alberto González Amador, boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. In this session, the former leader of the PSOE of Madrid, Juan Lobato, declares that he received the famous email in which González Amador’s defense acknowledged the crimes to reach an agreement with the prosecution. It was sent to him by Pilar Sánchez Acera, who at that time worked at La Moncloa. Before using it in the political battle, he went to a notary to certify the exchange of messages with Sánchez Acera, in which she assured him that several media outlets had published it. That notarial movement, which denoted distrust towards Moncloa, cost him the position of Madrid’s socialist leader. Sánchez Acera herself also testifies at the trial.
Subsequently, the turn of the journalists who reported on the case in those days will begin. On this day, Isaac Blasco, from They drove people; Olivia Moya, from digital freedom, and Esteban Urreiztieta, from The World. The latter published the hoax spread by Ayuso’s Chief of Staff according to which it was the Prosecutor’s Office that sought an agreement in accordance with González Amador, but that this was stopped “by orders from above.” It was just the opposite.
