Isabel Perelló, the new president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary, made an extraordinary speech defending the independence of judges and magistrates.
Perelló was elected despite not having the endorsement of La Moncloa, showing a shift in how these positions are selected and demonstrating her independence from political power.
Perelló's responsibility to protect the independence of the Judicial Power from the Executive and Legislative powers stands out.
Álvaro García Ortiz, the attorney general, was criticized for his speech which seemed more in the service of political power.
Conclusion: Perelló faces the challenge of safeguarding the independence of the Judicial Power, a key need in the current scene aggravated by political pressures. Her appointment marks a significant shift in the appointment of the CGPJ's heads, especially important for the maintenance of a democratic system.
