The PSOE assured this Sunday that “the time has come to depoliticize Justice” and “let it remain subject to the veto of a political party that only defends its interests”, referring to the blockade exercised by the party led of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and that prevents the renewal of the General Council for the Judiciary, whose mandate expired more than five years ago.
“Every time the Popular Party is in opposition, the General Council of the Judiciary is not renewed,” the PSOE said. it's a statement in which he recalls that the PP has blocked the renewal of the judges' governing body for more than 2,000 days. “And Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who recently arrived in Madrid, was about to sign for the extension,” the PSOE said.
The text adds that Feijóo turned away because “his hand was shaking.” “There the so-called moderate evaporated and the real Feijóo emerged. The one who shortly afterwards opened the doors to the far right throughout Spain,” the statement continues. “Since that day, the country has endured another barrage of apologies.”
The statement also says that the PP “has approximately 30 cases pending trial for corruption and other excesses. Perhaps the latter has something to do with this resistance to doing what the Law requires.”
The PSOE recalls that the PP requested international mediation through the European Commission, but this did not help because the president leaned towards the position defended by the Socialists. “First follow the law, ladies and gentlemen of the PP, and then propose whatever you want,” they say.
This Sunday, the PSOE also released the statements of its spokesperson, Esther Peña, describing the PP's position as a “kidnapping” of the judiciary and accusing the party of “boycotting” the Constitution.
“It's over. There are no more excuses. Those who prided themselves on controlling the House of Representatives of the Supreme Court through the back door must take action. The Popular Party must decide whether to abide by the Constitution or to leave out the The Constitution stands with its far-right partners,” Peña said.
The spokesperson stated that the PP has not complied with the Constitution for “more than 2,000 days,” meaning that “more than 1,000 cases have been postponed in the Supreme Court.” “We are adding another day to the more than 2,000 days that the Popular Party has violated the Constitution and prevented the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary. Five years of kidnapping the judges' government. Five years of boycotting Magna Carta. “Five years of blocking justice,” he added.
Peña has pointed out that the PSOE has “accepted all the Popular Party's proposals” to renew the CGPJ, but has “systematically failed to follow through.” “If the General Council of the Judiciary does not reach an agreement with the Popular Party and is not extended by the end of June, the necessary measures will have to be taken to restore normality,” he warned.
On the other hand, the spokesperson emphasized that the economy and job creation in Spain are going like a “rocket”, highlighting forecasts such as those of BBVA, “which improve those of the government itself, up to two points in 2024 and the half”. Some data, he said, “makes the Popular Party very nervous.”
'Feijóo could not make ends meet as a clairvoyant. Two years ago he predicted a major economic and financial crisis in our country, or he was the one who said that Moncloa would arrive on the back of Santiago Abascal's white horse,” he assured.
