The day after the higher courts warned of the risk of “collapse” and that thousands of lawyers gathered throughout Spain asking to reactivate a “paralyzed” Justice, the Plenary of the CGPJ has unanimously joined the clash with the Ministry of Justice for his refusal to attend to 49 reinforcement measures that he considered essential.
Progressive and conservative members of the Plenary of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) They have asked the department headed by Pilar Llop to explain why it has refused to attend to one in three measures that the Inspection Service considered essential to resolve the black spots on the judicial map. These are reinforcements in those courts that are particularly saturated.
In its meeting this Thursday, the Plenary has addressed “the serious crisis situation that the Administration of Justice is going through” and has resolved to “unanimously support the agreement adopted yesterday by the Permanent Commission in relation to the decision of the Ministry of Justice deny 49 of the 146 reinforcing measures that had been requested by the governing body of the judges and whose adoption had the favorable report of the Inspection Service”.
At its meeting on Wednesday, the Standing Commission urged Justice to reconsider its decision and asked it to give reasons that led it to financially authorize some reinforcing measures and deny others. It also asked him to report the budget items that he has to attend to the reinforcement measures until the end of the year.
The Council, “given the objective need” to approve the reinforcing measures, asks Justice to reconsider its decision, “given their urgency and necessity, in order to guarantee an adequate and effective exercise of the judicial function in the bodies concerned, as well as to avoid the serious damage that the non-approval of these reinforcement plans will produce in the public service of Justice”.
