Attorney General

On 19 July 2022, after Dolores Delgado announced she would resign for health reasons,[13] it was revealed that García Ortiz would be the government's nominee to replace her.[14] On 21 July, the General Council of the Judiciary endorsed his nomination by a vote of twelve to seven.[15] Following a review period by the Justice Commission of the Congress of Deputies, the Council of Ministers appointed him Attorney General on 1 August 2022.[16] The next day, he took office before the King, in the Royal Palace of La Almudaina.[17] [18]

After Pedro Sánchez formed his third government, the Council of Ministers asked that García Ortiz's suitability for office was reviewed. After the request was granted, the General Council of the Judiciary found, in a non-binding report, that he was unsuitable for office.[19] This was the first time in Spanish democratic history that the government's candidate for Attorney General had been rejected.[20] Despite this, the government re-appointed García Ortiz on 27 December 2023.[21]
