Editorial: El País

• The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) will finally exit its stalemate due to a pact between Sánchez's government and the People's Party (PP).
• This standoff has been maintained for five and a half years due to the PP's resistance to facilitate the renewal required by the Constitution.
• The PP has finally accepted the renewal without changes to the current law.
• The agreement includes extensive legal reforms to strengthen judicial independence and limit the political appointment of certain roles, such as the Attorney General.
• The new CGPJ will be tasked with discussing and proposing a reform of the system for electing its members.
• The agreement also includes the Senate's appointment of a judge of the Constitutional Court.

Conclusion: The agreement marks an important advancement for Spanish justice and democracy, although it also reflects the influence of external pressure, including that of the European Union.
