Tensions have escalated between the Spanish government and the Supreme Court's Criminal Chamber, led by Judge Manuel Marchena, over the indictment of State Prosecutor Álvaro García Ortiz.
The government views the legal arguments for his indictment as weak, with some officials suggesting it borders on lawfare.
The controversy centers on an alleged email leak, which many in the government believe lacks evidence against García Ortiz.
Despite initial mixed support, the government has now united in backing García Ortiz, viewing the indictment as unjust.
Meanwhile, within the prosecutorial ranks, a majority support García Ortiz's decision not to resign, although some dissenting voices have emerged.
The situation underscores ongoing tensions between Spain's judiciary and executive branches.
