MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, assured this Thursday that he will try to close an agreement with the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, on the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) in the meeting they will hold this December 22 at the Congress, but has asked to agree at the same time on the reform of the law of the Judiciary to “deepen” its independence.
In an interview on Antena 3, which has been picked up by Europa Press, Feijóo pointed out that Congress is “a good place” to talk about this because “the one who has to agree on the General Council of the Judiciary is the Congress of Deputies and the Senate “. “Therefore, it is a good place,” he added, after that interview between the two will be held this Friday in the Lower House.
When asked if he sees an agreement now possible regarding the reform of the Judiciary, Feijóo responded that he will try to do so at that meeting. “I’m going to try,” he added, to point out that this is one of the points on the agenda that he has raised with Sánchez because he wants to talk about the “independence of the Judiciary.”
Feijóo has said that Europe asks them to “deepen the independence of the Judiciary” and renew the CGPJ, something with which he has been “in favor.” “The president who prefers to renew the Council first? Well, also in favor. Now, we are going to renew the Council and agree on a bill to deepen the independence of the Judiciary,” he stressed.
At this point, he has indicated that “nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the three powers are held in one person” and has added that the appointment of Minister Félix Bolaños is “a very clear explanation of how the Government understands this matter.”
After stating that he feels “very proud to be the head of the opposition” in his country after having won the general election, he criticized having found out through the press about that meeting that Sánchez wanted to hold and has asked for “respect” for the head of the opposition. opposition and “non-impositions.”
Furthermore, and given the fact that the meeting coincides with the day of the lottery, he highlighted that “Sánchez set the date”, given that it was one of the three options that Moncloa offered to the PP to meet before Christmas.
The president of the PP has also celebrated that in the end this meeting will be on “neutral ground such as Congress.” “Mr. Sánchez said that I am going to meet with you whenever you want, where you want and how you want,” he noted, adding that the Lower House “is not a bad place” because “we must restore the importance of the institutions.” “.
“The investiture is closed in a chalet in Switzerland, control of the government is closed in meetings in Geneva with a mediator specializing in an armed gang and therefore returning to the Congress of Deputies is once again granting sovereignty to the Spanish people,” he stated. .
Feijóo recalled the State pacts that he has offered to Sánchez since he became the Presidency of the PP in April 2022 and how he has facilitated PSOE governments, such as in the Barcelona City Council, while the Socialist Party “gives him the mayorship of Pamplona to Bildu after saying that he would never do it under any circumstances.”
“I have tried since I was head of the opposition to reach an agreement with Mr. Sánchez. Now, Mr. Sánchez’s problem is that the Tinell pact that they signed to reach an agreement with anyone, except the PP, has elevated it to maximum power.” , has declared.
