The Spanish judiciary faces a heated controversy as Supreme Court Judge Ángel Hurtado summons State Prosecutor Álvaro García Ortiz and two colleagues for questioning over alleged leaks.

The case stems from a leaked email that countered a false narrative spread by Madrid's regional government, led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, accusing prosecutors of misconduct.

The Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF) has condemned the move as an "unprecedented attack" on the independence of the prosecution service, calling it a "witch hunt.

" Critics argue that Judge Hurtado's investigation lacks evidence and overlooks key facts, including the origins of the false claims.

Justice Minister Félix Bolaños has expressed confidence in García Ortiz, emphasizing the importance of truth and judicial independence.

The case has sparked a broader debate about the politicization of Spain's judiciary and the integrity of its democratic institutions.
