MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Official State Gazette (BOE) has published this Wednesday the appointment of the former State Attorney General and former Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, as Chief Prosecutor of the Chamber of the Robed Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court.
The state attorney general, Álvaro García Ortiz, agreed to grant the position to Delgado despite the fact that the Fiscal Council –after a meeting of almost six hours– decided not to support the candidacy.
Until now, Delgado – who resigned on July 20 alleging health reasons after the spinal operation he underwent in April – had a place in the National Court Prosecutor’s Office (AN). With the change to the Military Chamber of the Supreme Court, he has managed to climb the ranks of the Public Ministry.
The PSOE tried to guarantee this promotion through an amendment included in the Bankruptcy Law that would have meant that Delgado and his successors at the head of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) were promoted to Supreme Court prosecutor upon leaving office, but the party ended withdrawing it due to the controversy generated.
Delgado was measured against 19 other people who aspired to the position in the Military Chamber, some with greater seniority and others with a better resume for the position, according to the sources consulted by this agency.
