Pedro Sánchez does not give deadlines but promises that he will fulfill “his obligation” because it is very important that “the crisis that the Popular Party has caused with its blockade in the General Council of the Judiciary does not spread” to the high court
The head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, assured this Wednesday that The Government will comply with its obligation and will appoint, although it has not given deadlines, the two magistrates of the constitutional Court (TC) because it is very important that “the crisis that the Popular Party has caused with its blockade in the General Council of the Judiciary does not spread” to the high court.
At a press conference after the G20 Summit in Indonesia and questions from journalists about whether this appointment will take place before December 6, Constitution Day, the president has not promised to make it before that date but he has made it clear that it will be done, in compliance with the law.
He recalled that the renewal of the Constitution should have taken place almost seven months ago, and He has insisted that “of course” the Government will comply with its obligation, “as it cannot be otherwise.”
In the meantime, the conservative block of CGPJ opposes the Supreme Court magistrate, José Manuel Bandrés, being appointed to the Constitutionaldespite being the candidate chosen by the progressive sector and both parties agreeing at the beginning of the negotiations that there would be no vetoes between them.
They also defend that there will be no appointments to renew the Constitutional until the Supreme Court decides whether to suspend the appointment of Rafael Mozo as president of the CGPJ, with which no significant progress is expected in the meeting between progressives and conservatives this Wednesday to renew the CT.
