Pedro Sanchez, contrary to that, judges and prosecutors “to decide how to govern themselves”

The judge Marchena waiver to preside over the Supreme court and the CGPJ after the agreement between PSOE and PP

The PP and the PSOE have executed this Wednesday, the rupture of the covenant for renewal of the CGPJ and have been removed in the Congress their joint list of candidates to be vocal.

this explained both formations moments before the Appointments Committee should review the two candidates to lift the session to a few minutes of having started. None of the two proposed by PP that they should appear today had been presented. “The application has been withdrawn so that not from the appearances”, has exposed the president of Congress, Ana Pastor.

At the last moment We have decided to also remove your list, so that the opinion no longer will be developed, nor, therefore, will vote tomorrow, the designation of vowels in Full, as it was intended.

The resignation of a magistrate before the evidence of politicization in the renewal of the Board took the PP to give by broken the covenant.

Both the PSOE as We are opposed to that system and maintain that the election of all the members on the part of the Cameras is the best way that society is reflected in the Judiciary. So, even though that point of the reform will be approved in the Senate, will not exceed the subsequent filter of the Congress, so that the system of election of the Council by the Courts will remain as it was.
