  • Renewal of the TC Eight members of the CGPJ ask Lesmes to convene a plenary session to urgently address the Government's legal counter-reform

To sit down to negotiate the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the Popular Party demands that the Government first withdraw the reform agreed with ERC that would allow it to appoint the magistrates that correspond to it in the Constitutional Court.

It is the "only red line" of the PP.

This was stated this Monday by the deputy secretary of the Popular Party, Esteban González Pons, at a press conference to present what he has called "a proposal to strengthen judicial independence and democratic quality in Spain."

"If the Government withdraws that bill, we will sit down with them this afternoon," said González Pons.

The document states that it does not accept that with the reform the CGPJ can only appoint two members of the TC, but that the release of the appointments must be complete.

The PP accepts that the renewal of the 20 members of the CGPJ takes place in accordance with current law, that is, with the final appointment of all of them by the Cortes.

That yes, claims that "in parallel", and for future renewals, begin to study a new election system "that ensures a change in the consensus model of CGPJ election."

That includes that the CGPJ be commissioned to prepare "a reform proposal" and that in

Congress

"a paper be created, within the

Justice Commission

, which will issue a report on the matter."

In both cases, within a non-extendable period of six months.

The proposals reach the

Prosecutor

's Office .

The PP considers that whoever occupies the position of state attorney general cannot have carried out political tasks in the previous five years.

Such a measure would have left out the current attorney general, Dolores Delgado.
