Brussels portrays the judicial chieftain

One day after the government denied the possibility of a bad reception in Europe of its judicial counter-reform, Europe responded by expressing its concern.

'The Commission is aware of the announcement on this new legislative draft.

We are closely following the development of this matter, "a Justice spokesman revealed to EL MUNDO.

in the national-populist line of the Visegrad group.

It is that every member country of the Union must consult "with all relevant actors" on any reform of the Judiciary.

Among those relevant actors, obviously, are the judges - three of the four majority associations have already denounced the outrage -, the prosecutors and the opposition,

This is the report sent by the Ministry of Justice to the Commission on April 28 to pass the community examination on the situation of our rule of law.

Have you calculatedly waited for the report to undertake the outrage?

What has happened in between? It is not about the blockade of the PP, as the official propaganda argues.

It should not be so difficult for Sánchez to return to Sánchez's positions when he was in the opposition and agree with Casado on a reform of the election system in the sense that now the PP, and always Europe, want.

And in any case

: you crush the Constitution while accusing the PP of not complying with it.

What we suspect, after learning that Sánchez gave the order to process the counter-reform after agreeing on it with Iglesias, is that deactivating the last power that may contradict his will and try to save Iglesias from the imputation by threatening the judges is more important to Sánchez than him. Rule of law.

Because Sánchez knows that the validity of the coalition may depend on judicial independence, but in addition the cacicada puts European funds at risk to alleviate the consequences of the covid.
