  • Politics: The PP offers Pedro Sánchez a new "global state pact" to depoliticize Justice

The PP wants to establish its rules when negotiating the renewal of constitutional bodies, such as the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) or the Constitutional Court. The popular open to "dialogue" with Pedro Sánchez the unlocking of both institutions, but only in exchange for a "depoliticization" of Justice that meets its basic requirements. That is, if the PSOE agrees to negotiate the state pact that Genoa is going to offer - as EL MUNDO advanced last Sunday - Pablo Casado will go to the call of the President of the Government and "will reach out."

Genoa sources assure this newspaper that there is a possibility to renew the CGPJ, but that "if Sánchez does not accept" the premise of depoliticizing Justice in a "global" way, there will be "nothing to negotiate." This would go through a reform of the appointment of the State's attorney generals, so that they can never be politicians again, and a minimum period of four years must pass between leaving their political responsibilities and being eligible for office. That is, so that a case similar to Dolores Delgado does not happen again, which was chosen and announced while she was still Minister of Justice and deputy of the PSOE.

The other two conditions that will be set by the PP are to strengthen the euro-order system and criminalize the illegal call for a referendum, which Sánchez promised in the last election campaign and that in Genoa believe that he now does not want to do, since he needs support of the independence parties to carry out the 2020 Budgets .

The president of the PP said yesterday that his party is willing to sit down and negotiate with the PSOE the renewal of the CGPJ, but only if it implies a "depoliticization" of the judicial system, in the opposite direction to what socialists and popular parties have been agreeing since 1985 reform. "We will reach out to the PSOE if it wants to depoliticize the State Attorney General ," Casado said in an interview with Antena 3.

In addition, the new secretary of Justice of the Popular Party, Enrique López , said that his party is "open to dialogue" on the renewal of the Judiciary, always from a state pact prism. "We are going to sit down and talk," he said in an interview with Onda Madrid, because "we have to talk about a model of Justice designed for citizens, not specific emergencies," he added.

But, yes, to coincide in the table of the pacts ... Sanchez would have to telephone Casado: «The first thing that Sanchez has to do is talk to the leader of the opposition, accused of blocking by the one who decided not to call» . «It is the same strategy. We have been paralyzed for a year because of the general elections that have prevented the Council from renewing, and now we have been [again Government] for a week and we are accused of blocking when a dialogue has not been initiated: we have started badly, ”said the former magistrate.

"You have to sit down and talk," Lopez insisted later, because Justice "is not to satisfy political mortgages, but to resolve citizen conflicts." Finally, López stressed the good harmony he has with the new Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, whom he has known for years to coincide in the Judiciary and with whom he said he had "many things in common."
