Shredder scandal

The Shredder scandal (Spanish: Escándalo de la Trituradora) was a political scandal in Dania which involved the Minister of Justice, Ángela de la Cavallería. The scandal erupted in November 2019 when it was discovered that de la Cavallería had been suppressing letters of an anonymous whistle blower regarding malpractices at the ministry by putting the letters through the shredder.
The scandal began when it was discovered by a staff member that de la Cavallería had been shredding letters from the anonymous whistle blower. It was later revealed that the ministry had refused to investigate corruption or misconduct allegations. The scandal quickly gained media attention and public outcry, with many calling for de la Cavallería to step down. The scandal was further exacerbated by de la Cavallería's refusal to comment on the allegations. Eventually, de la Cavallería resigned as Minister of Justice, citing "personal reasons". She was succeeded by Antonio Sanabria.
In the aftermath of the scandal, President Carlos Amieros promised to improve transparency in the government. A special committee was formed to investigate the allegations, and it concluded that de la Cavallería had acted improperly in suppressing the whistle blower's letters.
The scandal ultimately had little impact on the government and public opinion, as the public was more focused on other issues at the time. However, it did lead to increased scrutiny of the government's actions, and greater efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the future.
