It is alarming to see how that antidemocratic outburst in the form of a political challenge that Pedro Sánchez launched on public radio was not an unconscious departure from tone.
When he presumed that the Prosecutor's Office depended directly on him, he was only confessing, now we know with complete certainty, his intention to use the Public Ministry for his own benefit, a claim that the State Attorney General, Dolores, is being disciplined to facilitate. Slim.
Aware that there are not a few independent prosecutors used to resisting the pressures of political power as evidenced by the four who participated in the trial of the procés Delgado has been promoting related prosecutors from his old association, the Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF) for a year ), to the highest category, that of courtroom prosecutors.
The malaise among the members of the Race is quite deep.
They accuse her of promoting lawyers with little prestige and of making appointments guided only by "personal friendships", by "ideology" and without taking into account or "giving priority to merit and ability."
And it is that of the 31 seats that make up the Board of Prosecutors, 12 are already occupied by members of the UPF, despite not being the majority association.
The one that is, the Association of Prosecutors, however, only has seven members.
Nobody is aware of the intention of altering the balance in a body that is key to the operation of the Prosecutor's Office.
The Board of Prosecutors is the one that advises the Attorney General on doctrinal issues and the body that Dolores Delgado has the obligation to listen to before promoting actions interested in the Government, or when it must give instructions to its subordinates in case they affect to any member of the Executive.
Finally, the Board is in charge of deciding in which cases the Attorney General should abstain.
Having a majority of people you trust will allow you to promote investigations whenever you consider it politically relevant and stop others to shield members of the Government or the PSOE from actions by the Justice.
Throughout her political career, Dolores Delgado has shown that she is willing to put her ideological sectarianism before any other ethical or professional consideration.
It should not be forgotten that in a few months at the head of the Ministry of Justice she was challenged by Parliament up to three times, which did not prevent her from passing, without a continuity solution, from the Council of Ministers to the Attorney General's Office, something unprecedented in our democratic history.
Delgado has the merit of being the jurist who is contributing the most to the degradation and discredit, not only of the Public Ministry, but of Justice and its institutions, with the consequent erosion that this entails for a rule of law that must guarantee the separation of powers.
With Congress deactivated thanks to a prolonged state of alarm, Sánchez has found in her the ideal person to put under his control the only power of the State that he does not dominate.
And concentrate all power in the Executive, following its populist script.
