The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, considers that the Popular Party is “outside the walls of pre-constitutionalism” without a “country project” and with the only plan to “delegitimize” and “hit” the Government and, therefore, insists that Given the impossibility of agreeing with Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party on the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, whose mandate expired more than five years ago, legislation must be passed to be able to undertake it without his assistance.
“I am the first that if I sensed that the PP was going to comply with article 122 of the Constitution, I would not get up from the table,” said the also Minister of Labor in an interview in La Ser, but she has been convinced that the PP will not reach an agreement. “If it is not possible to reach an agreement, let us legislate,” said Díaz, who has reiterated his proposal to maintain a three-fifths majority for the election of the members of the governing body of the judges during a “temporary period”, after which passes to an absolute majority to appoint the new members.
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, reopened yesterday from the same radio studio the door to exploring mechanisms to renew the Council without the PP, once the mediation of the European Commission, demanded by Feijóo at the end of last year, practically takes place. for dead. The Community Executive, which will take office in just over a month due to the European elections, gave itself until April to reach an agreement that has not been possible. “If the PP continues with the kidnapping of the CGPJ, Parliament will need to articulate mechanisms to be able to get out of this very regrettable situation in which the PP has put the government of the judges,” admitted yesterday the head of the Executive, who avoided specifying said mechanisms. . “I hope I have a parliamentary majority for it,” he insisted.
In any case, the reduction of the majorities to renew the CGPJ was already rejected by the Government three years ago due to the misgivings it raised in the European institutions to the extent that an initiative like this, in the opinion of the European Commission, went against of judicial independence from political power.
Given this European position and after the president’s reflection for five days that led him to announce on Monday that he continued to lead the Executive to lead a “democratic regeneration” in Spain, Yolanda Díaz has warned that Spain has to make “big changes that, In his opinion, they have to do with the “democratization of economic powers and justice.”
In this sense, the Minister of Labor has regretted that “the high command of the judiciary is taken by the same families as always” and has denounced access to these judiciaries that is “unique in Europe”, while at the same time she has reproached the PP for “a “deliberate strategy” of controlling the executive of the judges which, in his opinion, “is what allows some things to happen”, which “is generating a very important division in justice in Spain”, which is “absolutely undemocratic”.
For the second vice president, the debate that Sánchez opened last Monday is “much deeper than is believed” since “we have a political actor called PP who is outside the walls” and who “has no national project but to delegitimize to the Government of Spain, to hit the Government of Spain”. “Some political seams in this country have jumped and since they have jumped it is time to defend democracy,” warned Díaz, who considers that this dynamic is not recent but rather began with La Aznaridad described by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
In any case, the leader of Sumar has recognized that what the Chief Executive has done in recent days “is not orthodox” although she has defended her actions because “everyone has the right to stop”, but she has warned that “now It’s time to govern” and “we have to tell the citizens what we are going to do.” “How long have we been like this without going on the offensive?” the vice president asked to emphasize that “we are late but we are going.”
