The Minister of Justice refuses to explain "in what terms" the Government will reform the sedition

• Justice plans a new type of sedition tailored to Oriol Junqueras

The Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, has defended this Monday to address a reform of the Criminal Code in the coming months to "turn around" the crimes of sedition and rebellion. However, despite the insistence of the opposition parties to clarify in what terms they would face, the latter has taken long and shunned any minimal explanation about their orientation despite the questions of the PP, Vox and Citizens.

The matter is of the utmost relevance because any legal modification that lowers the penalties could mean an ad hoc reform of the organic law for politicians convicted by the Supreme Court in the 'procés' judgment. In fact, THE WORLD has revealed that the key that will allow the reduction of the penalties of the principal convicted by the 1-O will be the introduction into the Criminal Code of a subtype of aggravated sedition with the embezzlement of public flows. It is about introducing a specific subtype for those crimes of sedition whose achievement has been achieved with the prior diversion of public funds.

During his appearance at the Justice Commission of the Congress of Deputies, Campo has been asked about this matter but has not shed more light than to confirm that he is willing to undertake a reform on the crimes of sedition and rebellion. "Does anyone have a doubt that we should turn this kind of crime around, we will see in what terms, to adjust the attacks on the Constitution or public order that may occur in new situations?" Said the minister, clearing the question and leaving in the air "in what terms" want to lead it.

A "necessary" revision of the Code

On the other hand, Juan Carlos Campo has disregarded that there is a preconceived plan to reform the Criminal Code and has denied that the PSOE has acquired a "commitment" in this regard with ERC when it closed an agreement for Catalan independence workers to give him parliamentary support to carry out the investiture of Pedro Sánchez. In this sense, his justification to address at this precise moment a change in the typification of crimes has been that the Criminal Code "needs a revision" because "attacks on coexistence come from many places."

The minister has stated that his will is to face the reform of the Criminal Code with the "wide debate", both in the modification of the rebellion and sedition and in other issues that fly over right now with sexual, environmental or animal protection crimes. "I hope we get an agreement and if not, nothing happens, you can leave if there is a majority or not if there is not," he said.

Until this occurs, he has reprimanded the opposition for insisting on this matter since, in the minister's opinion, deepening before it is raised black on white means "wear out" in "sterile fights" that "have not yet arrived."

Faced with the peace of mind of the Minister of Justice, the opposition has given the alarm and has been very worried about the possibility of "pardons through the back door" to benefit those convicted of the 'procés'.

The spokesman of the PP, Luis Santamaría, has alluded to the information published today in this newspaper about the plans of the Ministry saying that it is really "an undercover pardon or a covert amnesty." Showing the front page of the newspaper, he warned. "The Junqueras reform is a reform tailored to those convicted, a fraud and a prize for the coup in Catalonia." The popular spokesman stressed that there "will be difficult" that there is a PSOE-PP dialogue.

Santamaría has reminded Campo that as Minister of Justice his responsibility is that "nothing and no one is above the law or the margin" of it and has recriminated that the eagerness of the Government of Sanchez to "dejudicialize the policy" walk in the Directorate of "creating spaces of impunity for independentists."

That is why he has warned him that he is going to be the Minister of Justice who "will be the most difficult" in the whole democratic period because the President of the Government is going to ask him to "look the other way while the independence movement breaks the State of Right".

The spokesman for Vox in the Justice Commission, Javier Ortega Smith, has asked the minister for explanations about the reform of the crime of sedition and rebellion and has asked without getting an answer if the government is looking for a "hidden pardon" for those convicted of the process, to which once again Vox has accused of having committed a "coup d'etat".

From Citizens, Edmundo Bal has caused that the legal modification enters "within the pact with ERC" to guarantee his parliamentary support. In this regard, he said that the Executive "has in mind the" amnesty "to politicians in prison. Something that the orange deputy has described as" stumbling "and" shame. "

Faced with criticism from PP, Vox and Ciudadanos, Campo has found support from the independence parties. Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas, who in addition to deputy of Junts per Catalunya has worked as a lawyer for Carles Puigdemont, has asked the Government "much political and legal courage" to repeal the crimes of sedition and rebellion.

"Derogen, do not soften," he urged, promising his support along the lines of "slowing down the political conflict and curbing the judicial and judicial right." "Whatever you do right will protest the same," he encouraged.

Meanwhile, ERC has maintained an eloquent silence on this matter and has not introduced the issue into the debate, preferring to refer to other issues. The CUP, as a representative of the Mixed Group, has entered to claim "amnesty" and a series of reforms so that Justice is not "the executing arm of the policy."

Nor did the spokesman of United Podemos, Jaume Asens, want to get into the subject too much, much less do so in the explicit terms expressed in an interview in El Periódico de Catalunya, where he assumed that "in the coming months "They could" approve the reform of the Criminal Code that would result in prisoners recovering their freedom.

"

The instruction, to prosecutors

In addition, in the presentation of its program as a new justice holder, the leave judge has opted to increase the positions of judges and prosecutors in the next general state budgets, approve the reform of the old Criminal Procedure Law (LeCrim ) and launch the courts of instance to optimize material and human resources. Campo has framed all these initiatives within the 'Justice 2030' agenda, a "working method" to turn the "justice system into a true public service".

The minister, who throughout his speech has alluded on different occasions to dialogue and consensus, stressed that it is necessary to work for a "modern and fair regulation" that guarantees a criminal prosecution fully adapted to constitutional principles through reform de la LeCrim "overcoming nineteenth-century legislation and overwhelmed by procedural reality".

Juan Carlos Campo promoted as a former Secretary of State for Justice with Minister Francisco Caamaño a new LeCrim project where the instruction of the judicial processes passed to the prosecutors. The minister has committed himself in the Justice Commission of the Congress of Deputies to present before the end of the year a draft reform of said organic law to the Council of Ministers. Campo has pointed out that the reform of this 1882 rule is a "national challenge" that will be done by "listening to all" and attending to the experience of courts and tribunals.
