Belarra proclaims that not reforming the CGPJ means "lowering one's head" in the face of the "coup against democracy" of the judicial right

He vindicates the achievements of Podemos even in the face of pressure from the PSOE, such as the Trans law, and he does not see it reasonable to start 2023 without the Housing Law

MADRID, 29 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has claimed that her political space promotes the main progressive measures of the Government, even overcoming "pressure" from the PSOE, and has warned that not changing the renewal system of the General Council of the Judiciary would be "lowering the head" and assume that the "blow to democracy" that meant suspending the processing of the reform of the Constitutional Court remains without consequence. And it is that far from being solved this institutional crisis, it has predicted that the "coup" strategy of the right "will go further"

In addition, he has criticized that "it is not reasonable" to face the last year of the legislature without having approved the repeal of the 'gag' Law or the Housing Law, defending in this case that the "forceful intervention" of the public powers It is the best way to lower rental prices.

The also Minister of Social Rights has published a video on social networks to take stock of the year and highlight various "achievements" of Podemos within the coalition government, which in her opinion reinforces its role within the Government and its ability to achieve social progress that, until now, had "never" reached the "transformative left" in the last 80 years.

For example, it has celebrated the approval of the new social shield in the extension of the anti-crisis decree, which has managed to once again incorporate the limitation of rental prices for all contracts in the next six months, together with a 50% reduction in the price of urban transport, among other measures.

He has also praised the approval of the Trans Law, which is the symbol of what Podemos represents in the coalition government and which puts the rights of citizens ahead without bowing to "pressure", which even came from the PSOE.

"We have remained standing and the Trans Law will be a reality", Belarra emphasized to boast of other measures achieved by United We Can that seemed impossible not long ago, such as the increase in the minimum interprofessional wage, the cap on the price of gas or guaranteeing the right to unemployment of domestic workers.

However, and despite the positive balance of her management in the Government, the leader of Podemos has warned that they are aware that there are "invisible powers" and an "elite" that, even if it is very small, continues to maneuver to try to demonstrate that "sends more than the president of the Government and the Parliament", which must be "stopped" because "there is no one above the law and democracy."

Next, Belarra stated that the unblocking of the renovation of the Constitutional Court was "essential" to prevent the PP from trying with its "judicial arm" to stop the "most ambitious measures of the Government.

However, she has proclaimed that the institutional crisis "remains open" and that the "coup strategy" of the political and judicial right "is not going to stop" and, she is even convinced that "it will go further", as was seen at suspend the vote on the reform of the TC in the Cortes Generales, because they do not support that Podemos is within the Executive.

Therefore, he has claimed that the reform of the renewal system of the CGPJ is "essential" and that not to undertake the reduction of the parliamentary majorities for its renewal would be to accept that the "judiciary has dealt a blow to democracy without any consequence".

In this way, he has urged the creation of a model that adapts to political reality, enabling the path of absolute majority in Congress for the renewal of 12 members, and leaving behind a system (that of three fifths of the chamber) to "measure of bipartisanship".

Finally, she has once again called for the implementation of the Housing Law with rent control in stressed market areas, as she is convinced that the real intervention of the public powers in this market is much more effective than aid, which sometimes they become "patches" or a "bureaucratic maze".

Finally, he has assured that he still thinks that a "diplomatic solution" is possible in the face of the "criminal invasion" of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Ukraine and trusts that the international community will get involved in a war that "continues to grow to the greater glory of arms companies.
