The strike committee of justice administration officials announced this Tuesday in a statement that it has unanimously agreed to suspend the indefinite strike that began on April 17 and intensified on May 22 until there is a new government, if He has well warned that the “conflict” continues.

“The indefinite strike is postponed until the constitution of the new Government resulting from the general elections” on July 23, so that the Executive that comes out of the polls “already knows that it has a problem to solve as soon as it takes office”, has said the strike committee, made up of the CSIF, STAJ, CCCO and UGT unions.

Likewise, he has underlined the need to speak with “other heads of Justice”, considering that the current Ministry of Pilar Llop “is in clear decomposition”, judging by “the cowardly attitude of its highest officials”, whom he blames for remain “absent” from this “serious conflict”.

Thus, he has attributed the start of the strike to the “ineptitude” of the Ministry of Justice and its continuity to the fact that it has remained “castled and on the defensive”, since “it continues without presenting any proposal to open a negotiation process”.

In this sense, he recalls that “the situation has not changed since June 13”, when the last meeting took place. In the three held, no economic offer has been discussed by Justice, which in the last meeting offered its commitment to resume negotiations once 23-J has passed and the regional and central governments have been formed. The strike committee rejected him and opted to lock himself up for a few days in the Ministry.

In this context, one of the latest movements of the strike committee has been to request extrajudicial medication, reproaching Llop’s department that “it has not responded.” In any case, it has warned that it will resort to the courts to “enforce this legal obligation.”

However, they have described it as “a Ministry, protected by its Government, that does not listen, and that only knows how to impose its criteria, violating fundamental rights and humiliating its public employees and that denies the right to collective bargaining.”

“Since the Ministry of Justice does not care about Justice, the situation is very serious and we also believe that it is time to, once again, be more responsible than our political leaders,” the four unions have affirmed.

On the other hand, they have explained that, despite the fact that “the great public repercussion” of the mobilizations shows “the support of society”, “the arrival of the summer vacation period has caused a logical decrease in the monitoring of the indefinite strike motivated by the need to rest and in many cases also by the need for conciliation”.

To this they have added “the economic exhaustion that such a long-range mobilization entails, something that no family or worker can bear indefinitely.”

For all these reasons, they have agreed to suspend the indefinite strike, “but making it clear that the conflict continues.” In fact, they have already called two days of general strike, one on July 11, with a rally in front of the Palacio de La Moncloa, and another on the 20th, with an act of protest coinciding with the inauguration of the Spanish Presidency of the EU. in matters of Justice.

In addition, they have clarified that they will continue “with the pressure on the political parties at the provincial, regional and national level” to explain their demands and “so that the next Government takes note and knows that it has a pending account before starting the legislature itself”.

They have also anticipated that on Wednesday they will make available to all justice officials “a catalog of functions to shed light on what should and should not be done on the maxim that ‘nothing is done without the presence of the judge or the LAJ when required by law'”.

In line, they have urged the professionals of the sector -lawyers, solicitors and social graduates- to, instead of blaming them for the disorders caused, “demand in the courts strict compliance with this legal obligation on pain of nullity of actions “.

It should be remembered that the officials are demanding an increase of up to 430 euros per month after the March 28 ministries of Justice and Finance will sign an agreement -after two months of strike- with the Lawyers of the Administration of Justice (LAJ) that included a salary increase of up to 450 euros per month. Subsequently, both ministries also signed an agreement with the associations of judges and prosecutors to recognize a rise in the same line.

The agreement with the LAJ represented a total amount of about 22.7 million euros, while that of judges and prosecutors amounted to 46.7 million euros. Both figures are below the 200 million euros that officials are demanding for the 45,000 people who make up the body.

“We are neither less nor more than lawyers, judges and prosecutors. We are the essential piece of the Administration of Justice, through which 100% of the procedural acts pass and, if there is money to recognize the work of ‘them’, also our real functions must be recognized and the role that we must develop in a digital and modern Justice”, they have affected this Tuesday.
