Conservative members ask for an extraordinary meeting of the CGPJ due to accusations by politicians against judges in Congress

MADRID, 31 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Nine conservative members of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) have asked the interim president, Vicente Guilarte, to convene an extraordinary plenary session to make an official statement following the accusations launched on Tuesday by several deputies against judges and magistrates during the parliamentary session in the that the current text of the amnesty law proposal was debated and rejected.

In a letter, to which Europa Press has had access, they demand a "statement on the statements made yesterday, January 30, in the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies, by speakers from various parliamentary groups in the face of the acquiescence and silence of Mrs. president", Francina Armengol.

During the Plenary Session of the Lower House, deputies from Junts, ERC, Bildu and Sumar alluded to the judge of the Supreme Court (TS) Manuel Marchena, president of the court that judged and condemned the 'procés'; to the judge of the National Court Manuel García Castellón, who is investigating 'Democratic Tsunami'; and the head of the Investigative Court Number 1 of Barcelona, ​​Joaquín Aguirre, who is investigating the 'Voloh case'.

In this context, the signatory members have recalled the statement issued unanimously on January 19 by the Permanent Commission, when it expressed its "resounding rejection" of the criticism of the third vice president of the Government, Teresa Ribera, of García Castellón, when considering that are "contrary" to the "duty to respect judicial independence", while calling for "institutional responsibility" to "avoid the political use of Justice".

The petition is signed by the nine members who, together with Guilarte, form the conservative bloc of the CGPJ: José María Macías, José Antonio Ballestero, Juan Manuel Fernández, Juan Martínez Moya, Wenceslao Olea, Gerardo Martínez Tristán, Carmen Llombart, Nuria Abad and María Ángeles Carmona.
