This flood of appointments that Delgado will face as soon as he lands at the Fortuny Palace is the result of the political blockade suffered in the country in recent months.

Specifically, the former minister of Pedro Sánchez must appoint one of the most important positions in the race, that of the Supreme Lieutenant, since the mandate of Luis Navajas expired last December. Also in March will expire the position of fiscal inspector that Teresa Olavarría has held in the last 10 years, as well as that of the chief inspector prosecutor who now occupies Fausto Cartagena .

There is a circumstance that, although these elections are valued and voted by the Fiscal Council, that vote is not binding on the attorney general, who has freedom of judgment to propose to the Executive the appointments he considers appropriate for these key positions in the dome fiscal.

Many predict that he will place former comrades of the Progressive Union

With this scenario, Delgado will live a situation similar to that of the former State Attorney General José Manuel Maza , who at one of the first meetings of the Fiscal Council, in 2017, had to assume about thirty appointments Discretionary Prosecutors, some as sensitive as the Chief Prosecutor of the National Court or Chief Prosecutor of Anticorruption.

To these changes can be added those that the former head of Justice decides to carry out in the Technical Secretariat of the Attorney General's Office , that is, in the body of prosecutors who are considered as the bodyguard of the head of the Public Ministry . It is the advisory body of the attorney general.

At present, there are many voices within the fiscal career that predict that Delgado will reward for all these discretionary positions his former colleagues in the Progressive Prosecutor's Union (UPF). He has already done so as Minister of Justice, when he proposed his former association partner, María José Segarra , as Attorney General and also the UPF partner and Supreme Court Prosecutor, Manuel Dolz , as Secretary of State for Justice.
