The Independent Professional Association of Prosecutors calls for the dismissal of Montero and regrets the silence of the Attorney General

MADRID, 17 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Independent Professional Association of Prosecutors (APIF) has censured the criticism of judges by the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, in relation to the reduction of sentences for convictions for sexual assaults with the entry into force of the 'only yes' Law It is yes', for which reason he has asked for his resignation or the dismissal of those responsible, while he has lamented the lack of reaction of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, in the face of said "immoderate" criticism.

In a statement, the APIF has charged against the "invective" of a sector of the Government towards judges and prosecutors "not unauthorized from the Headquarters of the same" and, it has assured, that the right to criticize judicial decisions is natural but formulates that the references to "macho convictions" of the magistrates are "absolutely unjustified".

As the association has explained in the text, these insults are produced to divert attention from the lack of competence itself, for which it assumes that they should mean "the resignation or dismissal of those responsible".

In this regard, the association has explained that it will be the Supreme Court that establishes a definitive interpretation on the scope and effects of the retroactivity of the favorable law for those investigated and convicted in relation to the approved law, although it emphasizes that this principle is a fundamental safeguard in a rule of law. "Any criminal legislator should know about it."

Finally, the APIF has lamented the lack of reaction from the Attorney General to the criticism against the magistrates who "limit themselves to reviewing by constitutional and legal imperative" the sentences imposed for crimes against sexual freedom.

"With this silence, the FGE is not fulfilling its constitutional mission of ensuring the independence of the Courts, and is positioned -once again- as the Government's Attorney General instead of a true State Attorney General", the association has wielded.
