Feijóo asks that the CGPJ negotiation be carried out "with publicity, in Congress and with a regeneration pact"

He says that he has not yet discussed names with the Government and insists on resuming talks after the Andalusian elections

MADRID, 2 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has requested this Thursday that the negotiation of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) be carried out "with publicity, in Congress and with a regeneration pact." After reiterating that they must resume these talks after the Andalusian elections on June 19, Feijóo has indicated that at this time they have not yet "discussed names" with the Government.

Feijóo has admitted that the CGPJ should have already renewed it and that "everyone is breaching" the Constitution, starting with the Government itself which, in his opinion, has dedicated itself to "emptying" the governing body of the judges by "prohibiting it with a law that can fill vacancies on the Supreme Court".

"The Government has stolen the powers of the CGPJ to be able to fill those vacancies and, in my opinion, that law is unconstitutional," emphasized the opposition leader in an interview on Onda Cero, which has been collected by Europa Press.

When asked expressly at what point is that negotiation with the Government and if they have already started talking about names, Feijoo has indicated that they have not talked about names. "What we have left is to see if this tension subsides a bit and after the Andalusian elections, to see if we can resume the talks," he said.

Next, Feijóo stated that his party is "very surprised" by how the Government "uses the institutions", citing the case of the State Attorney General's Office, the State Attorney's Office, the National Intelligence Center (CNI) or the Sociological Research Center (CIS). "We are logically concerned because the government has taken over the institutions," he has proclaimed.

The leader of the PP has explained that in the meeting he had with Pedro Sánchez in April in Moncloa they agreed to resume the talks but he has blamed him for asking his party to renew the CGPJ while "he is constantly disqualifying the opposition and breaking all parliamentary consensus", citing as a last example the entry of the independentistas in the Commission of Official Secrets of the Congress after the espionage of the so-called 'Pegasus case'.

"We are facing a government that does not take care of the institutions but rather invades them. It does not comply with the institutional consensus but rather breaks it. And neither in foreign policy nor in the policy of the State does it maintain the basic consensus," he emphasized.

Despite the fact that Pedro Sánchez's Executive is committed to "breaking the great State consensus", Feijóo has affirmed that he is willing to resume those conversations to renew the CGPJ which, as he has revealed, when he became the Presidency of the PP they were " broken".

"Are we going to talk about this? Yes. Now, what we do we must do with publicity, we must do it in Congress and we must do it with a regeneration pact in the government of the judges," he said. , to add that the PP will raise how it believes that this body can be renewed.

Feijóo has criticized that, when the Government's actions are based on "anything goes" and on the breakdown of consensus and "use" of the institutions, it is said that the "problem" is with the PP, that "for once needs him is very cautious in the agreement". "It is an absolute imbalance in relation to the respect that the majority forces in our country should have," he concluded.
