• Justice The Supreme Court warns Pedro Sánchez that pardoning the 1-O prisoners would be "an unacceptable solution"

  • Politics The Government continues to open the door to the pardons of 1-O despite the rejection of the Supreme Court: Spain needs "concord and understanding"

The president of the General Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court,

Carlos Lesmes

, has warned this Wednesday that a pardon is "difficult to accept" when there is no concord, in reference to the words of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, on the possibility of granting the measure of grace to those convicted of the

process

.

The magistrate has assured that the pardon "as a measure of concord can be understood and even accepted", but has insisted that "when there is no concord it is difficult to accept."

Lesmes explained at the

ICAM Justice Forum

that it is a "prerogative of the political power", in his opinion "very free in terms of its concession, although judicially controllable although in a limited way".

The event was also attended by the director of the

Royal Academy of the Language

,

Santiago Muñoz

, who has criticized that the Government of Sánchez is "monothematically concerned" about addressing the path of pardons.

"Grace, like the granting of a pardon or amnesty, exists as an institution in our world and is a decision of a political nature, not a legal one," said Muñoz after insisting that there is a limit to its application, as it must be " sufficiently reasoned ".
