Try our ⁠⁠⁠LinguaSimplify⁠⁠⁠ app.This episode explains the process of appointing Spain’s new Attorney General following the dismissal of Álvaro García Ortiz. The government nominates a candidate—approved by the King and reviewed by the General Council of the Judiciary—who must be a highly qualified legal professional with at least 15 years of experience. We also discuss upcoming reforms to extend the term to five years and strengthen the office’s independence by limiting the government’s ability to dismiss the Attorney General at will.
