The protagonist of that moment was \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda Ortiz, appointed to that position by Pedro S\u00e1nchez. Let us remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/10\/17\/the-attorney-general-denies-being-investigated-lets-read-what-the-supreme-court-has-said\/\">Garc\u00eda Ortiz is accused of an alleged crime of revealing secrets<\/a>, <strong>a crime punishable by up to 4 years in prison<\/strong> under Article 417.2 of the Penal Code and in which, moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/01\/13\/the-supreme-court-implicates-la-moncloa-in-a-crime-punishable-by-up-to-4-years-in-prison\/\">the Supreme Court has pointed to the involvement of the presidency of the government<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We are talking about very serious events.

But as we have been seeing, <strong>for the left, there is no solid fact that is immune to propaganda and that cannot be distorted by a good narrative<\/strong>, even if it is based on mere appeals to emotion and lacks any rational basis.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, one of the main pro-government media outlets, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/La_SER\/status\/1985341022931660903\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cadena SER, highlighted that Garc\u00eda Ortiz received applause from his colleagues at the Attorney General's Office<\/a> before his appearance before the Supreme Court. This news is <strong>simple propaganda that seeks to portray Garc\u00eda Ortiz as someone with widespread support<\/strong> in what they are trying to present as an unfair process, ignoring all the evidence and indications that have already been published about this case. <strong>Basically, the argument is that Garc\u00eda Ortiz cannot be guilty because he received a lot of applause.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"665\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfa5 Primera jornada del hist\u00f3rico juicio contra el fiscal general del Estado: \u00c1lvaro Garc\u00eda Ortiz sale entre aplausos tras comparecer ante el Supremo<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FsraUsPqNR\">https:\/\/t.co\/FsraUsPqNR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/19fslxuXDo\">pic.twitter.com\/19fslxuXDo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cadena SER (@La_SER) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/La_SER\/status\/1985341022931660903?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Of course, <strong>this video has been circulated by socialist supporters on social media as a kind of absolving applause<\/strong> that supposedly proves Garc\u00eda Ortiz's innocence, regardless of the facts. <strong>The fact is that this strategy of absolving applause is not new.<\/strong> On February 26, 2020, during a plenary session of the Congress of Deputies, <strong>the then Minister of Transport Jos\u00e9 Luis \u00c1balos<\/strong> (now charged with several corruption offenses and ousted by his party) <strong>also received a long round of applause from his socialist colleagues:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"665\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Andr\u00e9s Lorite, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndresLorite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AndresLorite<\/a>, de <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GPPopular?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GPPopular<\/a>, pregunta al ministro de Transportes, Movilidad y Agenda Urbana, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abalosmeco?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@abalosmeco<\/a>, si \u201corden\u00f3 que se habilitara una zona preferente para Delcy Rodr\u00edguez en Barajas con motivo de su reciente estancia en Espa\u00f1a\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sesi%C3%B3nDeControl?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Sesi\u00f3nDeControl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9Gj446cZzi\">pic.twitter.com\/9Gj446cZzi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Congreso (@Congreso_Es) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Congreso_Es\/status\/1232594483172302849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>On November 21, 2024, <strong>the then Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, Santos Cerd\u00e1n<\/strong> (today also repudiated by his party after being implicated by the Justice system in several corruption crimes) <strong>also received similar applause from the socialist deputies in Congress:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"El PSOE en pie aplaudiendo a Santos Cerd\u00e1n tras revelar Aldama que le pag\u00f3 15.000\u20ac en comisiones\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2eaNJln38vc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Given past precedents, rather than being an absolution, <strong>receiving certain applause should begin to be considered a sign of suspicion<\/strong>.
