• Justice The King will once again preside over the delivery of judges' offices in Barcelona

Solomonic decision.

To avoid coinciding with the king in his two acts that he has in Barcelona this Monday, the representatives of the Generalitat have decided to prioritize what Foment del Treball will do, demonstrating that economic power is fundamental than judicial power for the autonomous government.

For this reason, neither the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, nor any other minister, such as that of Justice, will attend this Monday to the delivery of dispatches to the judges who finish the Judicial School in Barcelona.

In this way, the monarch once again presides over a delivery of dispatches in Barcelona after he did not attend last year when the Pedro Sánchez Government advised him against the situation of "ensuring coexistence" and social tension with the independence movement, since the ruling of disqualification of the then president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, by the Supreme Court was about to be known and there were only a few days left until the anniversary of 1-O.

The president of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and of the Supreme Court, Carlos Lesmes, referred to this controversy last year when he assured that the king telephoned him to convey that he "would have liked" to be at the ceremony of delivery of the diplomas. In the 2019 edition, the delivery of offices was in Madrid on the 25th anniversary, when it has traditionally been in Barcelona since it is the headquarters of the Judicial School in which the judges of Spain are trained.

Due to the health emergency situation, last year's ceremony was less crowded and took place at the headquarters of the Judicial School, while this year it will return to the Auditorium.

The monarch will be accompanied by the leadership of the Judiciary to give the dispatches of the 70th class of judges.

188 students, with an average of 28 years, will join the judicial career, of which 71.28% are women (134) compared to 28.72 men (54).

The king will intervene in this act like Carlos Lesmes.

In addition, the president of the TSJC, Jesús M. Barrientos, will attend, who a few days ago urged the CGPJ and the Ministry of Justice to establish a salary supplement for judges assigned to Catalonia given the difficulties in consolidating the existing positions.

Foment Awards

However, the king will not be alone in the act for the XIV Carles Ferrer Salat Awards and the 250th anniversary of the Catalan employer's association Foment del Treball Nacional, which is held at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia (MNAC) this Monday afternoon . The Generalitat's staff will attend here, headed by President Pere Aragonès, and the Minister of Business and Labor, Roger Torrent, as well as other authorities such as In addition to numerous businessmen, there will be the Minister of Transport, Raquel Sánchez, and the Minister of Social Security , José Luis Escrivá, the mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, the president of Aragon, Javier Lambán, and that of the Valencian Community, Ximo Puig, according to Foment on its website.

In previous visits by the monarch to the city in which he coincided with Aragonès, the president of the Generalitat declined to participate in the formal greeting to the head of state.

However, this Monday's event, in which a large part of the Catalan business community will participate, may be a good time to bring positions closer together, since precisely the economic sector is the one that is pressing the most to return to normality in institutional relations between the State. and Catalonia.

In the previous visits of the monarch, the most radical independence movement staged protests with traffic cuts, such as before the Auto Show, despite the fact that it had no repercussion for the king's agenda.
