Teresa Peramato, the new Attorney General of Spain, is at a critical juncture as she prepares to make significant discretionary appointments within the Prosecutor's Office. One of her key challenges will be to decide if she will promote members of the team led by ex-Attorney General García Ortiz or take steps to heal the divisions that have emerged following controversy surrounding García Ortiz's conviction. Peramato's decisions could shape the future dynamics of the prosecutorial authority and its relationships with various judicial bodies.

Recent events, particularly the Supreme Court's decision to uphold García Ortiz's conviction, raise questions about his legacy and the implications for those associated with him. Peramato has indicated a desire to 'heal the wounds' that have resulted from controversies surrounding past administrations within the Prosecutor's Office. Her choices in appointing three Sala prosecutors and several others across various departments will not only reflect her leadership style but also set a precedent for future actions in the office.

As Peramato navigates this complex landscape, her actions will be closely watched. The outcomes of her appointments may affect public trust in the Prosecutor's Office and its ability to function independently and effectively. By balancing the need for continuity and the imperative for reform, Peramato's initial decisions could have lasting effects on Spain's judicial integrity and the perception of its prosecutorial system.
