Varapalo to the association of Delgado in the elections to the Fiscal Council

The association to which the state attorney general, Dolores Delgado, has always belonged, has suffered a setback in the Fiscal Council elections held on Wednesday.

The

has lost half of its representation: the four positions it obtained four years ago are reduced to two.

The face is for the

, which rises from five to six members, and the

, which for the first time accesses the body that advises the attorney general and participates in the designation of the most relevant positions of the career.

It is made up of nine elected members and three ex officio members (attorney general, deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court and chief prosecutor of Inspection).

The bad result for UPF comes despite the fact that in recent years Delgado has systematically favored his candidates to access the highest level of the career, that of Court Prosecutor.

One of those appointments, that of Chief Prosecutor for Minors, has just been annulled by the Supreme Court for lack of justification.

Contrary to what has happened up to now, the results of the vote mean that Delgado will not be able to add a majority in the Council counting on the votes of the ex officio members and those of UPF.

Delgado herself obtained a position as a member of the Fiscal Council in 2018. She left it soon to access the position of Minister of Justice, an appointment that required her to leave militancy at UPF.

As attorney general - like her predecessors - she has formally remained unassociated.

Those elections were the most successful for UPF.

The most voted prosecutor in Spain was one of his candidates, Álvaro García Ortiz, whom Delgado later made head of the Technical Secretariat.

This time the association not only has not placed any of its candidates as the most voted, but the two candidates who enter the Council do so with the least number of votes.

For the nine seats that were voted for, he obtained the eighth and ninth positions.

The provisional results -the final results will arrive in a few days- indicate that the most voted (1,216 votes) has been the Anticorruption prosecutor Jorge Andújar Hernández.

According to sources from the association chaired by

, five others from the AF follow him by number of votes (Isabel Gómez López, Eva Más Curiá, Miguel Rodríguez Marcos, Roberto Valverde Megías and Beatriz Sánchez Carreras).

The six of the AF is followed by the prosecutor of the Supreme Court and spokesman for the Apif Salvador Viada.

He is followed by UPF-backed candidates Santiago Mena and Yolanda Ortiz.
