The spokesman for United We Can in the Congress of Deputies and secretary of the Podemos Program, Pablo Echenique, considers that, after the new blockade in the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), there is no other option but to lower the majority absolute that necessary to appoint its members, but the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, eluded this Friday to support that initiative.
"After the umpteenth excuse of the PP to continue its seditious coup against democracy in the judiciary, there is only one option left: change the method of electing the CGPJ in Congress and thus snatch Feijóo's blocking minority," Echenique published in your Twitter profile.
Thus, he alluded to the proposed law registered by the PSOE and United We Can to lower the necessary number to appoint members from three-fifths of the deputies of Congress to a simple absolute majority. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, decided to paralyze it due to the objections of the European Union and as a gesture to the then leader of the PP, Pablo Casado, when he distanced himself from Vox in the motion of censure that this party took to the Chamber.
However, the second vice president, when asked today in Extremadura about this possibility, avoided giving her support. He preferred to criticize the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, because "the people who want to govern a country have to comply with a main mandate, which is to respect the Constitution", and "the Popular Party has been in rebellion for four years with the Spanish Constitution putting at risk a key institution such as the Judiciary".
"Mr. Feijóo is not prepared to govern. Whoever does not respect the Constitution cannot govern our country," Díaz added, who after assuring him, like the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, that "the agreement was closed," interpreted that " Mr. Feijóo is very weighed by the photo of the protesters at the gates of Genoa" against his predecessor, Pablo Casado, for his confrontation with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. "He is haunted by the image of Genoa questioning Mr. Casado at that time."
The vice president insisted on that approach when specifically asked about Echenique's proposal. "What I think is that we have spent four years without renewing the General Council of the Judiciary and the Constitutional Court," she insisted. "It is essential to renew the organs." When she insisted on this idea of Echenique, she reaffirmed: "I have already answered your question."
