The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, declared this Thursday in her first appearance in Congress that “it is not up to the Government to renew of the General Council of the Judiciary “ and he summoned the parliamentary forces to put an end to the interim office of the judges’ governing body.

After almost three years in which the negotiations on the renewal of the CGPJ have been reserved for the former Minister of Justice Juan Carlos Campo, to the former Secretary General of the Presidency of the Government Felix Bolaños (current Minister of the Presidency) and the head of the Government himself, Pedro Sánchez, without having achieved any results, the new head of Justice has argued that “the renewal has to be done at the headquarters of those who represent the citizens, that is, Congress and Senate. ” “The Government cannot interfere with another power of the State”, has added.

Llop has finished his first appearance in the Justice Commission of the Lower House making a direct appeal to the Popular Party “to lift the blockade in which it has been installed, proceed to negotiate, act with a sense of State and comply with the constitutional mandate “to renew the CGPJ, the Constitutional Court, the Ombudsman and the Court of Accounts.



Llop appeals to the PP to renew the CGPJ

“It saddens me to see how 1010 days after the end of its mandate, the CGPJ continues in office due to this incomprehensible and unfair blockade for the citizens,” said the minister, who has defended the election of 20 members by Parliament for being a “valid and constitutional system, which the PP itself respected when it has governed with a majority.”

The minister criticized that “there is no greater politicization of the CGPJ than to block its renewal.” “The only option is to comply with the Constitution,” he said. “We must take care of the democratic system, we cannot allow institutional deterioration generated by partisan behaviors“, he pointed out.

Almost all the spokespersons welcomed the new head of Justice. The exception was Javier Ortega, from Vox, who received it as “madam minister of gender ideology within the Administration of Justice “due to the allusions that Llop had made to the implementation of plans that reinforce equality, prevent harassment and combat gender violence.” I am not going to enter the political mud, “the minister replied later. .

The PP spokesman, Luis Santamaría, was also very critical. “Until now, worse impossible“, he snapped at Llop in reference to his first weeks in office.

“He began by criticizing the Constitutional Court for its ruling on the unconstitutionality of the state of alarm. The least we expect is the respect due to the courts and their decisions. He has defended pardons by siding with those who violated the law rather than with the Court Supreme. And then his statements about the CGPJ. Defending what he defends against the criteria of the European Union and the vast majority of judges is to fight against windmills, “the popular spokesman told him.

Scholarships to be judges

Pilar Llop presented a continuous work program with respect to the one designed by her predecessor and focused on the Justice 2030 project, with which it is intended to lay the foundations of an “accessible, efficient and sustainable” Administration of Justice and in which between 2021 and 2023 470 million euros will be invested.

It is a “state project”, he said, which supposes a structural change of Justice in the procedural, organizational and technological fields and for which he will dialogue “with all groups, without exclusions on my part”.

The person in charge of Justice announced that it will create scholarships for the access to the judicial and fiscal careers, to the body of lawyers of Administration of Justice and to the Lawyers of the State.

It is, he said, to “democratize” access and facilitate equal opportunities.
