The groups that make up the legislative majority in support of the coalition government have made themselves available to the initiatives adopted by the coalition government to reverse the current blockade of the courts and the decision adopted on Monday by the Constitutional Court, preventing the Cortes Generales legislate on the appointments of the court itself.
This Tuesday in Congress, the spokesperson for EH-Bildu, Mertxe Aizpurua, the spokesman for Esquerra, Gabriel Rufián, and the spokesman for Más país, Íñigo Errejón, said they were expecting the executive's initiatives, who were a priori willing to legislate to end the current appointment regime that allows the PP to keep the high judicial magistracies and the guarantee court blocked.
The first secretary of the Congress of Deputies, Gerardo Pisarello, from Unidas Podemos, En Comú Podem, Galicia en Común, indicated that there are still no concrete initiatives on the table, but he opted for the double action adopted yesterday: on the one hand, present allegations to the very precautionary measures established by the Constitutional against the processing of the reform of appointments in the Senate, and on the other to initiate the legal reforms that circumvent this situation and prevent it from happening again: "This cannot happen again."
The formation that has been in the greatest hurry is Más País, which on Monday night already presented a bill to reform the Constitutional Organic Law, according to its spokesperson, because the "outrage has been double, to Parliament, which is sovereign for to legislate, and to the law, because the Constitution has breached the very organic law that regulates it”. Errejón confessed that informal conversations are already underway in the groups that support the Government "and that represent the majority of Spaniards." Regardless of his own initiative, the deputy said: "I have no doubt that we will understand each other."
The spokesman for the Socialist Group, Patxi López, did not want to say when or what legislative initiatives will be adopted, but confirmed that the PSOE intends to put an end to the current system of blockades that allows the right to retain control of jurisdictional bodies despite be in the minority. And in this sense, he does not rule out recovering the initiative from two and a half years ago, when the executive studied the possibility of modifying the majorities necessary for the renewals of the General Council of the Judiciary and the Constitutional Court.
Regarding the urgency of adopting measures, the Republican spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, stressed that "an institutional conflict without a plan is a giant with feet of clay", and urged the adoption of measures. And he admitted that the Esquerra group is in favor of modifying the majorities of election of the high magistracies.
