The negotiation between the Government and the PP to renew the Judicial Power jumped into the air last Thursday morning.

The vetoes crossed between PP and United We Can, with the popular rejection of Judge José Ricardo de Padra or Judge Victoria Rosell.

The party of Pablo Casado considers that De Prada is a demand of Pablo Iglesias and he is not willing to accept it.

From the PSOE, however, the PP is warned that De Prada was already proposed by them in the negotiation, also failed between both parties at the end of 2018.

Shortly after Pedro Sánchez arrived in La Moncloa, after his vote of no confidence against the Government of Mariano Rajoy triumphed, the PSOE and the PP began talks to renew the General Council of the Judiciary.

Some conversations in which both parties even agreed that Manuel Marchena would be the new president.

In that dialogue, De Prada was already on the PSOE's list of candidates.

"The PP had known the names [of the candidates] for a long time. It is not a question of the last days. After the motion of censure, when there was a first attempt [to renew the CGPJ], Judge De Prada was already present ", has pointed Cristina Narbona, president of the PSOE, after the meeting of the Federal Executive Commission of the party.

In the PSOE they defend their government partner, United We Can, and they reply to those people of the PP who point out that Judge De Prada was a last-minute demand from Iglesias to boycott the pact.

As this newspaper has reported, at the beginning of the negotiations, the PSOE put on the table two names linked to the formation of Churches: De Prada and Judge María Victoria Rosell.

Genoa showed its rejection of both.

Popular sources explain that then the Government withdrew the name of Rosell but decided to keep until the end that of the judge who created the harshest sentences of the sentence in the Gürtel case that brought down the Government and led to the motion of censure that led Sánchez to La Moncloa.

The insistence on De Prada raised the popular from the negotiation.

De Prada was already on the PSOE list in the 2018 negotiation, which was frustrated after hearing messages from the Popular Group spokesman in the Senate, Ignacio Cosidó, where he boasted of "controlling the second room from behind."

Then, Marchena, the man agreed by PSOE and PP, resigned as president of the Judiciary.

Already then, Pablo Casado justified the break in the presence of De Prada.

In a meeting of the PP parliamentary group on November 20, 2018, Pablo Casado censured the PSOE for filtering the pact on Marchena ahead of time and justified the rupture "two facts" that the PP wanted to "make public" considering them "unaffordable" : the change of one of the vowels "in the middle of the process for a designated orientation" or the proposal of a vowel with "a clear intention to undermine the Popular Group in its pact when voting without vetoes this renewal", in reference e this last case to judge De Prada.
