  • Politics The 12 attacks against the "prevaricating" and "Francoist" judges of Sánchez's partners in Congress

  • Politics The PSOE accuses the judges of trying to boycott the amnesty: "Every time the Executive moves a chip, a judge moves a chip"

Nine members of the General Council of the Judiciary have requested this Wednesday the holding of an extraordinary plenary session with a single point on the agenda: the attacks that the Government's partners launched yesterday against the judiciary in Parliament.

In the petition sent to the president of the body,

Vicente Guilarte

, to which

EL MUNDO

has had access , it is stated that the Plenary Session must be convened to "make a statement on the statements made yesterday, January 30, in the Plenary Session of the Congress of the Deputies, by speakers from various parliamentary groups in the face of the acquiescence and silence of the President of the Cortes", in reference to

Francina Armengol

.

The councilors

Wenceslao Olea, Carmen Llombart, José Antonio Ballestero, Francisco Gerardo Martínez-Tristán, Juan Manuel Fernández, Juan Martínez Moya, José María Macías, Nuria Díaz Abad

and

María Ángeles Carmona

, members of the conservative bloc of the Council, are those who have requested the extraordinary meeting to Guilarte who will foreseeably agree to convene the extraordinary plenary session.

On up to 12 occasions, Pedro Sánchez's parliamentary partners, including Sumar - with whom he shares the coalition Government - said the names of judges Manuel García-Castellón,

Joaquín Aguirre

and Manuel Marchena this Tuesday during the debate on the Amnesty Law.

The attacks were very harsh against the members of the judiciary

. Míriam Nogueras

, spokesperson for Junts, yesterday made four offensive mentions of Aguirre, two of García-Castellón and one of Marchena;

Martina Velarde

(Vamos), pointed out García-Castellón three times, explicitly, focusing her entire intervention on him, and

Gerardo Pisarello

(Sumar) also dedicated the speech to "the judge of the National Court who is a friend of [José María]

Aznar"

, which he also expressly cited twice. Against this barrage, the PSOE spokesperson in the debate,

Francisco Aranda

, made a lukewarm defense, barely a reproach because proper names were used.
