The

Francisco de Vitoria Judicial Association (AJFV)

has sent a report to the European Parliament on the "constant attacks on judicial power and independence by politicians."

It is a "delegitimizing speech" of the judges that is "one more instrument of control of the judiciary."

The document includes express references to the Minister of Social Rights,

Ione Belarra

;

the Minister of Justice,

Pilar Llop

;

and the Minister of Equality,

Irene Montero

.

"The continued deployment of the discourse that delegitimizes the Judiciary has allowed the generation of a climate of opinion in which it is admissible to launch accusations against judges in which, directly, a political role contrary to democratic principles is attributed to the judicial system as a whole. says the report.

"Members of the Government and the legislative branch have engaged in these practices," he continues, citing interventions by politicians reflected in the media. For example, de Llop ("I think it is quite unlikely that the Supreme Court can annul the pardons), Montero (" If Juana Rivas goes to prison it will be a scandal for the feminist movement "), Belarra (Isa Serra sentenced" without evidence "; "In Spain the opposition to the Government is being exercised by the judges"), or

Pablo Iglesias

(Tacha of "humiliation" the image of the Spanish Justice before Europe for the Catalan question).

The document sent to Brussels affirms that the excesses against concrete sentences have always existed, but they were "punctual".

On the other hand, "for approximately two years, these excessive criticisms have increased in frequency and, what is more serious, have begun to establish direct links between specific judicial decisions and generalized inappropriate behavior of all judges or serious democratic anomalies of the judicial system in your set ".

Electoral program

Within this strategy, the association includes the reference to an electoral program of Podemos -then corrected- that proposed to raise to the judicial cusp people "committed to the program of the Government of Change."

The association, second in representation in the race, considers that some of the arguments used to defend the current model of election of the CGPJ are at the same time a questioning of the judges.

The thesis of the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, is cited, that the members must go through Congress to obtain a legitimacy of origin that they lack.

All these elements should be seen "as a whole" as part of "a strategy" that the association considers "highly dangerous".
