Vox rejects Reynders' visit: "I don't want a Brussels commissioner to come and say how we have to operate"

MADRID, 29 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The first vice president of Political Action of Vox, Jorge Buxadé, has expressed this Thursday his rejection of the visit to Spain of the Commissioner of Justice of the European Union, Didier Reynders, because in his opinion it is a question of judicial organization they have to resolve the Spanish and in which Brussels has "nothing to say".

"In the same way that we say that we do not want the parties to control the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), I do not want a Brussels commissioner to come and say how the Spanish have to operate," he pointed out in an interview on Radio Nacional , collected by Europa Press, when asked about whether they trust that Reynders can act as a mediator and promote the unlocking of the renewal of the governing body of the judges.

Buxadé has pointed out that Reynders can come "for what the Commission should do" which, according to the MEP, is "to be at the service of the member states, talk to the Government and tell it how to help the system organize it better".

Of course, he has stressed that apparently Reynders coincides with what Vox has been defending since its constitution. "He says the same as Vox, which demands the reform of the organic law of the judiciary to guarantee that these 12 magistrates are chosen by and among the judges and magistrates," he added.

The leader of Vox has pointed out that it is a "really surprising and very striking in terms of European discourse" situation, along with alluding to the Article 7 procedures against Hungary and Poland that the Commission has initiated "for identical issues or less serious than what is taking place in Spain".

In this regard, asked if he believes that fundamental rights are being put at stake in Spain, as Brussels appreciates in these two countries, Buxadé clarified that these are two different things because one is "judicial independence and the other is the organization judicial". "In Spain, unfortunately, fundamental rights are violated," he asserted, putting the example of Catalonia in line with the issue of Spanish in schools.

In his words, the Commission is oriented towards federalization while Poland and Hungary are conservative countries defending their culture and politics. "It's a political issue," she has settled.
