The Government increases the pressure on the PP to now renew the Judiciary: "They are the only ones that violate the Constitution in Spain"

• Politics Sánchez presents himself as guarantor of the Constitution to stop the wear and tear of his pacts with ERC and Bildu

In

there was the conviction that this Tuesday the meeting of the members of

could mean a new step, that is, that the unblocking be consummated to appoint the four magistrates of

and manage to turn the conservative majority of this body.

Confirmed that the stone of the blockade in the CGPJ is no longer in the way, the Government increases the pressure on the Popular Party to undertake the renewal of the governing body of judges, an institution still blocked.

"The PP is the only one that violates the

in Spain", is the accusation of the Executive.

In the Government they boast that the popular were "shocked" this Tuesday when the CGPJ unanimously elected the conservative

and the progressive

.

It follows, therefore, that it did not cause "shock" or surprise within the Government.

"The news did not surprise me because, as always, the progressive blocks are those of institutional responsibility and loyalty," the first vice president, Nadia Calviño, stated in an interview on TVE.

"Some were caught with the wrong foot because they have been leading a blockade for months so that a renewal of organs that has to do with the democratic majority does not take place," the Minister of Finance and number two of the PSOE, María, has delved into this thesis. Jesus Montero,

The Government has launched to use the trick of this unlocking to try to tighten the siege on Alberto Núñez Feijóo in a message that Pedro Sánchez already accentuated this Tuesday in his annual balance: Feijóo, the PP, are outside the Constitution.

A path that the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has delved into this Wednesday: "The PP and Feijóo have zero credibility as a democratic alternative until they comply with the Constitution and stop using all kinds of tricks to block the CGPJ. They are the only ones that do not comply with the Magna Carta".

Calviño has urged the PP "to update and support the appointment of the new members of the CGPJ so that we can enter 2023 with perfectly renewed democratic institutions and ultimately fulfilling the constitutional mandate."

The purpose of the Government is to take advantage of the willingness shown by the progressive magistrates of the CGPJ to give up their candidate for the TC, José Manuel Bandrés, and assume the progressive name proposed by the conservatives, María Luisa Segoviano, as one more notch in pressure: the only one that blocks is the PP.

And this is where the positions confront each other: the PP demands the Government to withdraw its two candidates for the TC -the former Minister of Justice Campo and a former senior Moncloa official- and the Executive demands the PP to sign the agreement that they had practically closed in October, including names, to renew the Judiciary.

"Let's renew the CGPJ in accordance with the law and the Constitution. That Feijóo complies with the agreement we have made, we sign it as soon as possible and institutional normality returns to the country, because it would be good for the development of coexistence and institutional normality", has Bolaños exhibited before visiting the "Tremor" exhibition on the eruption of the La Palma volcano at the headquarters of the Government Delegation of the Canary Islands in Madrid.

Regarding the parliamentary initiative that the Government wanted to process urgently in Congress to unblock the Constitutional one in the face of the blockade that existed, Bolaños, as this newspaper has reported, admits the change of position: that urgency no longer exists.

He stays in the bedroom for fear of future blockages.

The pretext that the Executive is now using to temporize is that it wants to know the Constitutional proceedings of the decision that meant paralyzing the process in the Senate, especially the individual votes.

Take advantage of Bolaños to denounce that 10 days later, they still do not know each other.

For Minister Montero, the mere fact of warning that they would resume the parliamentary initiative to unblock the TC "has contributed to the TC finally being unblocked, with the appointment of these two magistrates who will be part of the TC in the future."
