• Request. The 'Gürtel' judge who wrote the sentences against the PP asks the CGPJ for protection against the "attacks" of the press

  • Sentence: The Supreme Court condemns Luis Bárcenas and the PP for the 'Gürtel case' between reproaches to the Hearing for their affirmations of the 'box B'

The Permanent Commission of

the General Council of the Judiciary

has rejected this Thursday for processing the request for protection of the magistrate of the National Court

José Ricardo de Prada,

the judge who introduced the most controversial phrases of the sentence of Period I of the Gürtel plot that they overthrew the Government of

Rajoy

.

The governing body of the judges, by majority, has considered that the requirements that, according to reiterated doctrine of the Supreme Court, determine the existence of an attack or disturbance of judicial independence are not met, so the request for protection should not be studied. .

In contrast, the members of the progressive bloc

Álvaro Cuesta, Rafael Mozo

and

Pilar Sepúlveda

, were in favor of admitting the petition for protection and have announced the formulation of a private vote, legal sources report.

The magistrate De Prada asked the CGPJ to require EL MUNDO, Abc and La Razón to "immediately cease" in an alleged act "disturbing" their independence.

"I see the need to denounce the press campaign carried out by certain journalists and the media, in a coordinated manner, against me, affecting my professional indemnity and seriously disturbing and disturbing my judicial independence, in my capacity as a member of the magistrate of the court that issued the first sentence, and that I perceive as pressure and retaliation for my jurisdictional action in the aforementioned matter, "stated the robed in his letter to the Council.

The correction of the Supreme

The harshest sentences with the Government of Mariano Rajoy and the financing in B of his party of the ruling of the National Court, drawn up by De Prada, were the fuse for a motion of censure against the Executive of the PP to triumph in the Congress of the Deputies.

In its ruling, notified last week, the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court questioned the assertions that the Audiencia made about box B of the conservative formation, considering that the court of instance exceeded its legal reasoning.

The High Court, which did not deny the existence of such opaque accounting, did conclude that there could be no criminal responsibility without accusation or defense in the case of the PP.
