Why It Matters
The Hazte Oír association filed a complaint against the former general director for the instruction of the nationalizations of the 'grandchildren law'.
A court in Madrid has accepted a complaint from the ultra-Catholic association Hazte Oír against the former general director of Legal Security and Public Faith, Sofía Puente, for a crime of administrative prevarication derived from the instruction in which she outlined how nationalizations should be carried out by the so-called 'grandchild law'. The court has opened preliminary proceedings, although it has not yet formally charged the sister of the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente.
In her resolution, Judge Inmaculada Lova Ruiz, of the Court of Instruction number 35 of Madrid, maintains that the Hazte Oír complaint includes facts "that suggest the possible existence of crime(s) of administrative prevarication." However, the judge points out that neither the "nature and circumstances of such events nor the people who participated in them have been determined."
Therefore, it concludes that "it is appropriate to instruct prior proceedings and carry out those essential measures aimed at making such determination and, where appropriate, the applicable procedure."
