He maintains that the penalties are disproportionate, according to the technical reports made by the ministry
The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, refused to confirm or deny that one of the demands of the Catalan partners of the Government is to reform the crime of sedition, but he did considerdisproportionate” the penalties provided today and insisted on the traditional mantra of the Executive on the need to “standardize” the punishment provided for these behaviors to the criminal codes of the rest of European countries.
According to Llop, it is “tempting” to interpret that the reform is motivated by the search for votes to carry out the budgets and insisted that her “reform is something that comes from before” she joined the ministry and in what is already worked “at a technical level”, because “it needs a review”, since it is included among the crimes of “public order with disproportionate penalties with respect to other behaviors of public disorder”, which requires “align ourselves with other European countries with penalties in accordance with behaviors that are considered seditious“.
CGPJ
The minister, who forcefully denied the possibility of being a PSOE candidate for Madrid Mayor’s Office, made a passionate defense of the election system for the 12 judicially drawn members of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), which called “magnificent”though the “lack of loyalty” of the PP blocking the renewal have perverted it.
“The judges choose the finalists who then choose the Congress and the Senate. It is the most independent model of all the European models, that is why He is the one with the most skills.“, he insisted, just at a time when the change in the model for choosing directors is on the negotiating table.
In a pedagogical tone he explained that “the Government has nothing to do with the renewal of the council. In the negotiation of who are the members. The minister (of the Presidency, Félix) Bolaños is also a member of the federal executive of the PSOE, which is the majority force in the Cortes and it is in those areas where renewal has to take place. The Ministry of Justice does not have to play any role.”
