Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister, has stated that if an agreement on the renewal of the CGPJ is not reached, the Executive will take the initiative.
The term of office of the members of the CGPJ expired more than 2,020 days ago, which contravenes the constitution.
The CGPJ maintains a conservative majority from the times of Mariano Rajoy.
The PP rejects ultimatums and calls for Brussels' arbitration.
The interim president of the CGPJ, Vicente Guilarte, asks for more details about Sánchez's plans and guarantees of no government influence.
Sánchez assures that his proposal will be respectful of the independence of the CGPJ.
One of the options would be to change the system of appointment of judges and members.
It is essential to maintain the separation of the three powers of the State.
Conclusion: The PP must understand that its interest in changing the CGPJ election model is not sufficient reason for not renewing it. A solution for the CGPJ's interim situation is needed.
