ZARAGOZA, 10 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The senior judges of Zaragoza and Huesca, along with those of other autonomous communities, have rejected this Friday in a joint statement the “lawfare or judicialization of politics” included in the PSOE-Junts agreement on the amnesty law.
In the statement, the senior judges who sign it join the agreement of the professional associations of judges, made public this Thursday and also in the opposite direction with regard to the Judiciary regarding the agreement between PSOE and Junts on the investiture of the socialist candidate Pedro Sánchez as President of the Government of Spain to revalidate the position.
“The text of the agreement reached between PSOE and Junts contains explicit references to the possibility of developing investigative commissions at parliamentary headquarters in order to determine the presence of situations of judicialization of politics, with the consequences that, if applicable, could give rise to liability actions or legislative modifications,” they point out.
“This could mean, in practice, subjecting judicial procedures and decisions to parliamentary review with evident interference in judicial independence and bankruptcy of the separation of powers,” they warned.
“Judges must be subject only to the rule of law, since this is expressly established by article 117.1 of the Constitution. These expressions, insofar as they reveal any distrust in the functioning of the Judiciary, are not acceptable,” they emphasized.
The Judiciary “in Spain is independent, it does not act subject to
political pressures and has a system of jurisdictional guarantees that removes the risk that is pointed out”.
