The PP has asked the Senate table today to suspend the parliamentary processing of the bill to reform the Penal Code in the Upper House "as it is a fraud of the law" and a far-reaching reform that will be processed in an "incomprehensible" way urgently.
The popular have registered this petition in the Senate in which they argue "the evident fraud of the law that its processing as a bill and not as a bill" entails in order to "avoid the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ)" and the pertinent reports of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the Fiscal Council and the Council of State.
"It is incomprehensible that such an important reform for the safeguarding of our Constitutional order, is considered of such urgency that it prevents its processing in accordance with the ordinary deadlines," he argues.
The PP criticizes that the amendments accepted in the Justice Commission of Congress by the groups that "support the Government" go "against the criteria of the lawyers of the Lower House.
Remember that the popular group in Congress presented a few days ago before the Constitutional Court an appeal for amparo in which they request "precautionary measures to suspend the agreement to process amendments 61 and 62 presented jointly by the parliamentary groups that support the Government, regarding which there is still no pronouncement".
Specifically, it maintains in the letter that "amendments 61 and 62 that modify the LOPJ regarding the appointment of the magistrates of the Constitutional Court and the parliamentary majorities required to be elected members of the same, are clearly unconstitutional, despite the fact that they are in the text sent to the Senate".
The Constitutional Court postponed to Monday its decision on the request to suspend the processing of the reform, whose debate in the Senate is set for Thursday, after the fierce debate in Congress yesterday.
