  • 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.
