thousands of resolutions accumulate from Monday in the courts throughout Spain without being able to notify due to a problem in the MINERVA system of the Ministry of Justice and also in the so-called GESPRO of the CCommunity of Madrid that has been dragging on since last Monday, according to secretaries of the Administration of Justice consulted by The newspaper of Spain.
From the Ministry of Justice confirm the incidence, although they point out that “the system is shocked, but it works, although not at full capacity”. According to the data reported to this newspaper, at 11.00 this morning they had managed to sign around 8,500 documents, although this figure at that time should be double, and the problems persisted at 5:00 p.m.
Early on Monday, around 7:45 in the morning, technical problems were detected in one of the two Data Processing Centers (CPD) belonging to the General Directorate of Digital Transformation of the Ministry of Justice. This caused the temporary loss of service of some telematic applications in judicial bodies, Prosecutor’s Office, Civil Registries, Citizen Services and Central Registry Window, although according to what the Ministry reported in a statement, these problems were solved that same afternoon.
This point is denied by several LAJ consulted by this newspaper and by the Ministry itself, which this Wednesday admitted to EL PERIÓDICO DE ESPAÑA that after the services affected by the “important problem suffered on Monday” had stabilized — due to a problem in the air conditioning infrastructure of one of the CPD of the DGTDA– persists “a incident in the electronic signature automation service which is making it difficult to sign documents through the Portafirmas in judicial bodies and the certificate generation at the window service of the Central Civil Registry”.
“Impossible to sign”
In practice, according to the LAJ of the Court of First Instance number 12 of Valladolid, Gloria Monchón, the situation is as follows: “At the end of the morning some resolution passed, but it was impossible to sign, so it’s not solved at all. We are at January 12 and in my court neither a sentence nor a court order has been issued. And they are done, waiting”.
From the Ministry of Justice, the LAJ (former court clerks) are asked to proceed through a system not integrated with the Minerva Procedural Management System or in cases where it is necessary to sign judicial documents. signing the paper in a handwritten way and later incorporating it into the digital file. Monchón replies that signing the paper and scanning it can be “even illegal” having digital file.
Facing the “little clock”
From other courts they complain that there is no day that the LAJ do not have to face the “little clock” on the computer screen and take up to fifteen minutes to notify a simple order or a one-page ordering errand. They confirm that Today “the vpn and the digital signature” did not work. another lawyer, @nikamonina on Twitter, he pointed out after 10 in the morning: “One more day this is not going to pedal. If someone believes that you can work in conditions like this, let me know how.”

Among other reasons for the problem, LAJs point to the fact that almost each autonomous community has a different procedural management system (there are up to ten) that, in many cases, “They don’t even speak & rdquor; each. There is the Adriano in Andalusia, the Atlante in the Canary Islands, Cicerone in Valencia, Justicia.Bat in the Basque Country, Themis in Catalonia, Avantius in Navarra, etc.
Due to this type of situation, and also in defense of their salary adequacy, the judicial secretaries have been mobilizing for a few months and, given the lack of responses from the Ministry of Justice and what they consider “contempt for the defendant” have called a strike next January 26.
