New clash between a member of the Government of Pedro Sánchez with Justice. Statements by the Minister of Consumer Affairs , Alberto Garzón, in Sixth saying the "prosecution is part of the fabric of the government" have caused the two main associations of prosecutors, both conservative and majority Association of Prosecutors (AF) and the Progressive Union Prosecutors (UPF) , have issued two communiqués on Monday responded to the member of the Executive that the Public Ministry is only subject to the principles of "legality" and "impartiality."

In the note issued by the Association of Prosecutors they have demanded from the members of the Government "not only a better knowledge of the Fiscal Ministry, one of the basic institutions of the Rule of Law, but fundamentally of the principles that govern its performance, autonomy and independence" .

For its part, the Progressive Prosecutor's Union has shown its "indignation and surprise at its ignorance of the organic and functional autonomy of the Fiscal Ministry." According to article 2 of the Organic Statute of the Fiscal Ministry, it "is integrated with functional autonomy within the Judiciary and in no case has hierarchical dependence on the executive branch," the progressive prosecutors of UPF stress to demand "respect" from exercise of the constitutional function assigned.

Likewise, they emphasize that Article 2 of the Organic Statute of the Fiscal Ministry, this "is integrated with functional autonomy within the Judiciary and in no case has a hierarchical dependence on the executive branch."

For its part, through the social network twitter the minority Professional and Independent Association of Prosecutors (APIF) asked Alberto Garzón to inform himself before declaring that "the Prosecutor's Office depends hierarchically on the Ministry" since "it is not so. And it does damage to the institution that a minister goes on television and says it with all peace of mind. "

The head of Consumption said yesterday in La Sexta that "the Prosecutor's Office hierarchically depends on the Ministry, the Presidency of the Government, although it is autonomous (...), that is, the appointment by the Government is proposed, in fact for that reason there is nothing illegal in what is being done, and then has autonomy to defend ... But it is that the Prosecutor's Office is part of what is the framework of the Government, is not Judicial Power. " Garzón tried to justify the appointment of the former Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, as the new state attorney general.
