With the Government and the PP totally faced by the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the Constitutional Court or other institutions such as the Ombudsman , the RTVE Board of Directors and the Court of Auditors , the chief The Executive, Pedro Sánchez, has eluded today in Congress to commit to the depoliticization of justice and a new system for the election of judges, regardless of political quotas.

Although the Minister of Justice, Juan Carlos Campo, this week opened to debate on the condition that before the PP agrees to appoint a new CGPJ, which should have been updated a year ago, and for what the Government needs the votes of the popular deputies, the president has eluded today to travel in this way, which Pablo Casado has demanded and that today has defended the spokesperson for Citizens, Inés Arrimadas.

This leader has affected Sanchez some appointments of people very close to him such as Óscar López in Paradores , his former chief of staff, Juan Manuel Serrano , in Correos , the former Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, proposed as the new attorney general of the State, the election of a historical socialist to direct the CIS, José Félix Tezanos, or the absence of a contest for the management of RTVE or of a parliamentary agreement for the management of the Efe agency . Arrimadas has demanded changes in these designation systems and a law to reform the selection criteria of judges. "Let politicians get their hands off justice," he said. And he has recriminated that they be "begging" the PP, to pacify the composition of the CGPJ.

The president has responded to Cs with a recrimination on with what "meritocracy" they have gone from 57 deputies to 10 between the elections of April and those of November and has indicated that the exemplarity that asks also consists in not agreeing with the PP, by their corruption cases, and with Vox, for their "ultra-right" positions. "We have four years ahead, be a center match."

A very similar message has been dedicated by Sanchez to Casado, to whom he has insisted, in effect, in agreeing to the CGPJ and to abandon the "blockade" and make a "useful opposition." "You are in a row and I ask you to collaborate and abandon catastrophism."

The opposition chief had asked him today about the economic data because, he said, "his recipes are as credible as his electoral promises" and he has reproached him for "more unemployment" and "more deficit." As the PP is "a state party," said Casado, "I have offered to agree on budgets if it breaks with the independence."

He referred to the meeting that both held on Monday at La Moncloa to explore a rapprochement on specific issues and the renewal of pending institutions. That meeting was an absolute failure and since then the Government has initiated a campaign against Casado to force it to reconsider its refusal to agree on the pending changes in these organizations. Criticism of the position of the popular leader tarnishes all the interventions of the ministers. Today Sánchez has insisted while responding that "the economy grows and employment is created".
