Llop hopes that Lesmes will not be "forced" to resign due to the attitude of the PP and wants a renewed CGPJ in "next few days"

MADRID, 3 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, has trusted this Monday that the president of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), Carlos Lesmes, will not be "forced" to resign due to the "performance" of the PP, after Lesmes insisted last week on his idea of ​​resigning from the position if there is no progress in the renewal of the governing body of the judges, whose mandate expired in 2018.

In statements to Europa Press, Llop has expressed his hope that Lesmes "does not have to be forced to resign due to the PP's actions" and has wanted the renewal to be done in the "next few days", although he has to "have been renewed four years ago".

Attending a conference on Digital Justice organized by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) at Casa de América, the Minister of Justice assured that the European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, during his visit to Spain, coincided with her in " essential" and "important" to unblock the situation of the CGPJ.

Llop recalled that for Reynders the renewal of the Council is a "priority" and has influenced Brussels' confidence so that when Spain assumes the rotating Presidency of the European Union in the second half of next year, the CGPJ "will already be renovated".

"It is an appeal that we are making to the PP", the minister stressed, recalling that the Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has alluded to this issue today during the opening of the judicial year in the Basque Country, where he has branded non-renewal as "inconceivable" of the CGPJ and has made a call to prioritize the common good over partisan interests.
