The vice-secretary of Organization of the PP, Carmen Fúnez, has demanded the dismissal of the third vice-president of the Government, Teresa Ribera, for "harassing" and "dividing" the judges by accusing the judge of the National Court Manuel García Castellón of "prevarication" , which investigates the 'tsunami case' that affects Carles Puigdemont, something that the party assures that it will take to the EU.
This was stated this Saturday in statements in Ourense, before the 26th Interparliamentary Meeting that the party will host in the city, on the eve of the Galician elections.
Fúnez has assured that Spain does not deserve to have a Government that "attacks judges" and that "divides" them, whenever they do not serve their own "interests" and has harshly attacked Ribera's words, for "having adopted the most radical discourse of the independentistas."
"The Sánchez Government wants judges who respond to Sánchez's interests to maintain the power that divides judges depending on their ideology," said the deputy secretary, who has accused the socialists of placing judges "as fascists." with toga".
For the popular deputy secretary, Spain "cannot maintain a rule of law with a Government that is permanently harassing the judges in our country" and that "divides" the judges depending on whether they instruct cases against the PP and the PSOE.
For this reason, he has advanced that his party will take this "harassment" to the European Union and the Commission itself so that "they know that we have an Executive that does not respect the Spanish justice, the independence of justice and that has dire consequences for all the Spanish people".
After warning that the Sánchez Government "does not represent Justice or the Spanish people", he has demanded the dismissal of Ribera and has made it clear that "you cannot attack the judges and insult the judges as prevaricators because they do not bend." to Sánchez's interests and do what Sánchez needs at all times.
Thus, Fúnez has considered it "regrettable" that the PSOE has not dismissed Ribera 24 hours after the accusations of prevarication and has warned that the PP will continue working from all the institutions and also on the street "so that these types of attacks end as soon as possible" and to paralyze the amnesty. "We are going to fight until the last minute to paralyze the amnesty, there is the commitment of Feijóo and the entire PP," Fúnez remarked.
In this regard, when journalists asked her about the controversy generated by her criticism of the judge of the National Court Manuel García-Castellón, Ribera herself remained silent. "I have nothing to say," is the only thing the third vice president of the Government said upon her arrival this afternoon at the PSOE political convention being held in A Coruña.
Moments before, the former vice president of the government and socialist deputy Carmen Calvo had said that although "at some point more or less correct statements can be made", the PSOE "has no blemish of knowing what its place is when it occupies the institutions and what is the respect that it also has for the competences of all the others". "I think it does not go beyond some statements that are not part of what we feel," added Calvo, "respecting" the resolutions of the judiciary "whether we like them or not."
Nor did the head of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, want to delve into the controversy, who has said that he does not have an opinion on his fellow judges and has limited himself to defending the work of all of them.
