  • 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.
