The Government is determined to renew the Constitutional Court.
But a parliamentary initiative of his turned into a trap.
The Executive promoted a measure that prevented the General Council of the Judiciary from making appointments while in office.
He has been in this condition for three years.
It was a measure to put pressure on the PP and to agree to negotiate to renew it.
But it has become a stumbling block to renew the four Constitutional magistrates with expired mandates, because two must be renewed at the proposal of the Judiciary, two at the proposal of the Government.
The Executive is now going to register an initiative in Congress to return to the Judiciary the ability to make appointments and thus proceed with the renewal of the TC.
The initiative, advanced by eldiario.es and confirmed by EL MUNDO, is scheduled to be registered in Congress this Friday: a bill that will be processed by urgent means.
This will undo what has been done: that is to say that the Judicial Power will be able to make appointments, therefore it will be able to appoint the two magistrates that correspond to it by quota in the Constitutional Court and that will allow the Government to appoint its two.
So La Moncloa wants to avoid what it would mean to appoint its two magistrates unilaterally, without doing it at the same time as the Judiciary.
Because the Constitution establishes that the members of the Constitutional "will be renewed by third parties every three [years]."
One of those third parties, which should be renewed as of June 12, is made up of two magistrates at the proposal of the Government and two at the request of the CGPJ.
But the Council has blocked their appointments, which prevents a complete renewal.
The third would be a sixth part.
