The Government threatens to vacate the PP's position in the TC: "You have lost your place because of fools"

• Justice Lesmes rules out for the TC and points to Moncloa: "They lie if they say I want to be a candidate, they know perfectly well that I don't"

• Politics The PP offers the Government a "global pact" for Justice if it renounces the "assault" on the TC

On the day 1372 AD.

C. (after expiration), the CGPJ appears a little more blocked than usual.

If it fits.

The small spigot that was kept ajar for the agreement between the PP and the PSOE has been almost completely closed after the failure of the Lesmes operation.

Not so much because his hypothetical appointment as a magistrate of the Constitutional Court (TC) was the master key to unlock everything, but because the operation itself has revealed that the pact is not viable today.

Certainly not before a progressive majority is consolidated in the High Court.

And then hardly...

For the Government,

, president of the CGPJ and the Supreme Court, appeared as a profile of guarantees and "consensus" to replace the magistrate of the Constitutional Court (TC)

who resigned from office in July for health reasons, months after suffering a stroke.

But Lesmes yesterday rejected any aspiration to the position, after revealing this newspaper the pressures he suffered for the CGPJ to appoint two magistrates of the TC ("if the Council does not appoint, Lesmes forgets Montoya's place in the Constitutional Court").

While the PP claims that position because it corresponds to it by quota, government sources assure this newspaper that it is no longer up to

to decide who occupies it: "They have lost the position because of fools."

That is, for now that position will remain vacant.

Not surprisingly, Montoya was elected by the Senate at the proposal of the PP, and a three-fifths majority is needed to designate his successor.

Without a popular and socialist pact, this coveted Constitutional square will continue to be blocked.

And that is something that harms the PP, since the correlation of forces will be very unbalanced.

If the seats are finally renewed, there would be seven progressive magistrates, four conservatives and one empty chair.

So that the hegemony of the first group would not be broken even in cases where one of its magistrates voted in a direction contrary to theirs.

Something that happens more frequently than is thought, since the blocks are not monolithic and in the most thorny issues that reach the court there are usually transfers.

The replacement of Montoya by the PP was included in the agreement signed by the Minister of the Presidency

and

last November.

The new leadership of the PP does not feel bound by what was secretly signed by its predecessors and calls for "starting from scratch" and with transparency.

So in the Government they believe that what was agreed with Pablo Casado's team does not apply and that the PP has lost its opportunity to fill the vacancy before the rest of the appointments, according to socialist sources.

In Genoa they also believe that the position will remain empty, but they blame the Executive for breaking the channels for their attempted "assault" on the court.

The Government no longer feels obliged to give the PP the election of the magistrate without further ado, but sources from the Executive assure that Bolaños will speak with

deputy general secretary of the PP in charge of Justice issues, "later", when " calm the waters."

That is, at least after the changes in the TC are consumed.

And if Feijóo returns to "consensus", the replacement of Montoya will be explored.

But in La Moncloa they insist that they will not advocate "appointments of militants like

" or jurists "like

."

In Genoa, for their part, they see the renewal of the CGPJ in "dead line".

Day by day.

The national leadership of the PP assures that they would be willing to a "global pact" for Justice if the Government renounces its plan to renew the TC with a shortcut.

If

gave in to that gesture, the PP would raise the shot trying to close an agreement in which the reform of the Organic Law of the Judiciary was not a definitive stumbling block, as in the last three years.

The popular ones no longer demand that the PSOE commit itself a priori to modify the norm to change the system of election of the members, so that the judges are chosen among themselves.

Instead, they would pass the hot potato to the new members of the CGPJ, so that within six months they would make a reform proposal.

But «Sánchez's only obsession is the Constitutional, nothing else.

They only want to control the TC for the sentences that are pending, ”they delve into the national leadership of the PP.

On the edge of the majority

The Popular Party is doing better and better in the polls.

“If there were general elections next Sunday, there would be a change of government,”

The same is said in the polls that the 'popular' people have for the Madrid City Council.

would clearly win the local elections and would be on the verge of an absolute majority, if the demographic forecasts of the PP were fulfilled.

In this way, the mayor of the capital could repeat in office without the need for Vox to vote in his favor, because it is enough to be the most voted (the absolute majority is not necessary).

The internal polls also smile at

who is predicted an absolute majority, since

who would be on the verge, in Murcia.

Nadia Calvino

Conference of presidents 'interruptus'

The first vice president,

has confirmed to the PP barons the holding of a Conference of Presidents this fall, but without a specific date.

This is a claim by many regional presidents who want measures to combat the energy crisis to be debated and improvements for savings and efficiency to be agreed upon in the face of gas shortages and the sharp rise in prices.

But different sources close to

and

vice president of Ecological Transition, assure this newspaper that the idea of ​​the Conference has finally been ruled out.

So Calviño was actually giving a capo ... or she just didn't know that the idea - that she was fine with it - has not come to fruition.

On the 28th she will meet with

on European funds.
