If the PSOE and United We Can have fully agreed on anything since their political complicity began, it is on the idea that Justice must be at the service of the Government, so that it is the only legitimate representative of the people , who decides what what is just and what is unfair. For Sánchez and Iglesias, heirs to the anti-parliamentary and anti-liberal conceptionemerged in the 20s and 30s -one of the foundations on which the two totalitarianisms of the 20th century were raised-, the power to judge must be taken from judges and magistrates, thus ending one of the pillars of the State of right: the separation of powers and the independence of Justice. A basic principle of all modern democracy that the current interior minister defended with passion when he was a magistrate and member of the CGPJ, but which he has shown to be willing to resign now that his fellow blue bench, Pablo Iglesias, insults Justice and despises from the vice presidency of the Government. Sad to see the populist drift of Grande-Marlaska .

It should not be forgotten that Sánchez won the 2018 censure motion by instrumentalizing a sentence in which it was assumed that the PP had been financed irregularly, an interested manipulation that had to be amended by the National Court. But by then, he had already appointed a justice minister who would be condemned three times by Congress for her ties to the state sewers. Dolores Delgado herself would later go on without directing a solution to direct the State Attorney General's Office -an institution dependent on the Government, as recalled by a defiant Sánchez on a radio station-, in whose hands the current minister of the branch wants to leave the instructions of the criminal cases, taking that power from independent judges and magistrates. That is the objective of the expert commission set up on the 15th by Juan Carlos Campo , as is the Royal Decree that today brings the Council of Ministers to avoid a more than certain collapse of Justice after the health crisis. With both movements, the Sánchez government does not intend to do more than skip legal security under the alibi of the state of alarm . As Pablo Casado , who announced that he will vote against, recalled yesterday , organic laws that require debate and parliamentary consensus cannot be modified in the midst of an exceptional situation.

Sánchez and Iglesias, however, are willing to take advantage of the confusion caused by this horizon of indefinite states of alarm to which there is no way out to break the rule of law and judicial independence with the support of their separatist partners.
