• Justice Judges and prosecutors agree on a salary increase with the Government and call off the indefinite strike

Members of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) will ask President Rafael Mozo, to dismiss the extraordinary plenary session set for next Wednesday where the salary increase agreed with the Government for judges was going to be assessed. In addition, they describe as "unusual" having been "excluded" from the signing of the agreement that will take place this Tuesday at 13:00 p.m. at the Ministry of Justice.

The counselors Enrique Lucas, José María Macías, Carmen Llombart, José Antonio Ballestero and Gerardo Martínez Tristán requested last Friday to Mozo to convene that extraordinary plenary session for this Monday but the president set it this Monday to be held on Wednesday.

However, the Ministry of Justice has summoned for Tuesday the representatives of the judicial and fiscal associations - the representatives of the Council who have attended punctually to the meetings of the remuneration table have not been summoned - to sign the pact with the improvement of the remuneration of the togados.

Hence, according to legal sources reported to EL MUNDO, the members will ask the president to cancel the extraordinary plenary session set today and to return to the call for ordinary plenary session on Thursday for the Council, including then the proposal on adequacy of judges' remuneration.

On the other hand, legal sources describe as "undignified" that the Ministry has not summoned its representatives to tomorrow's meeting. "This is an unusual institutional nonsense," they add.

The CGPJ have only received an email where "it is recalled that, as was said at the last meeting of the commission for the salary adequacy of the judicial and prosecutorial careers, the agreement reached with the associations will be ratified on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at 13:00 p.m. at the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice ".

Finally, legal sources maintain that in the event that this call had been made effectively "attendance would not be possible because the Plenary has not been able to ratify any proposal because its president (by substitution) has not convened it in due time."
