• Interview Araceli Mangas: "The amendment to the Amnesty Law has no legal, social, or political basis"

The president of the Senate,

Ander Gil

, has presented this Thursday to the professor specialized in international and European law

Araceli Mangas

the award of the XXVII Pelayo Prize for Jurists of Recognized Prestige.

The vice president emeritus of the Constitutional Court

Encarnación Roca

has highlighted de Mangas that she is a fervent defender of fundamental rights, and has highlighted "everything she has done to help this suffering humanity, especially in humanitarian law."

Roca has reviewed the curriculum of Mangas and has highlighted that his activity in European law has been recognized on several occasions at the international level.

The magistrate has pointed out the relevance of this European law, given that it greatly affects Spanish law, reports

Europa Press

.

For his part, Ander Gil has indicated that Araceli Mangas is a great jurist who has combined teaching and research with a commitment to advising on crucial issues in recent years.

And he has praised the lawyer's blog as a great source of knowledge that he has recommended.

"She is a great believer in the European project," he pointed out.

The "self-absorbed" Spanish society

In Mangas's speech, after thanking the award, he highlighted that receiving the award is not so much an act of justice as of great generosity from the jury.

And he has mentioned that since of the 27 winners so far only three are women, "among all" the path of equality will be made for the other half of the walkers.

"Today I feel especially honored to be able to receive this award together with great award-winning personalities; I will mention among the many winners present, precisely, the two women jurists,

María Emilia Casas

and

Encarna Roca,

respectively president and vice president emeritas of the Constitutional Court, who received this award in 2006 and 2018, and I also have in mind the last great jurist awarded in 2020,

Tomás de la Quadra-Salcedo

", said the winner during her speech.

In addition, he added that he has a debt contracted with his extraordinary professors at the University of Salamanca, among whom was

Francisco Tomás and Valiente:

"They were a mirror in which to dream my illusion for the Law."

In this sense, he recalled that his interest and specialization in international legal practice has led him to express his technical opinion in various opinions on the insertion of Spain in the western defense and security system and in international humanitarian law.

"It is a paradox"

On the other hand, Araceli Mangas has lamented that although the great issues of European and international debate are on the streets of the planet and in foreign media, they are not "in a society as self-absorbed as Spain."

"Our political parties are reluctant to foreign policy (...), it is a paradox that in the homeland of the Right of People and its founder, Francisco de Vitoria, its politicians prefer internal confrontation to cohesive internal policies that facilitate and multiply the international projection of Spain ", has indicated.

The event was attended by the president of the Constitutional Court,

Pedro González-Trevijano,

the president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (

CGPJ

),
