MADRID, 22 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -
The progressive member of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) Concepción Sáez has submitted her resignation due to the "unsustainable" situation of the body, according to 'ElDiario.es' and sources from the governing body of the judges have confirmed to Europa Press.
The vowel transferred her decision to the interim president of the Council, Rafael Mozo, through a letter. According to the aforementioned sources, Sáez had been considering resigning for at least two months.
The CGJP should have been renewed on December 4, 2018, when the five-year term of its 20 members expired, but the inability of the PP and PSOE to reach an agreement has prevented it, after several attempts.
The current CGPJ was formed on December 4, 2013 with 20 members that are currently 17, after the resignation of Sáez, because in these 9 years one of them, Rafael Fernández Valverde, has retired, and another, Victoria Cinto, died. To this is added the resignation of Carlos Lesmes as president of the Council and the Supreme Court (TS) on October 9, precisely to force the renewal. In addition, the situation could worsen because the interim president of the body, Rafael Mozo, will also retire next year.
