MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has affirmed this Thursday from Brussels that the agreement to renew the Judiciary is “possible”, but has made it clear that fulfilling the “depoliticization requirement” leaves out political profiles, among which Judge Victoria Rosell would be there.
This has been pronounced, in statements to the media before attending the summit of EPP leaders that is traditionally held in the hours before the European Council, when expressly asked if that agreement is imminent and if they should be left out of the next CGPJ profiles like that of judges Rosell or José Ricardo de Prada.
The head of the opposition has indicated that in the negotiation they have spoken of “requirements, not of people.” “If we agree on the requirements, people who do not meet the requirements cannot be part of the CGPJ, and one of the requirements is the depoliticization of the Judiciary,” he stated.
In this sense, he has stressed that those people who have “public or political positions” or have had them in recent months, could not be part of that renewal, although he has said that he was not going to enter “specific people”.
Therefore, according to the demands of the PP, included in the judicial proposal that it already sent to Moncloa in July, people like Rosell, current Government delegate for gender violence and whose name was resurrected this week, could not be part of the Council. We can as a candidate for the governing body of the judges.
Feijóo has affirmed that the renewal of the CGPJ -whose mandate has expired for almost four years- is not one of the issues that he discussed with the president of the Commission, Usurula von der Leyen, in the “long” hour and a half meeting that held this Wednesday in Brussels. To her understanding, she “probably” did not ask him about this matter because she knows the position of the PP, which is “coinciding” with that of the European Commission.
