MADRID, 23 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The deputy spokesman for United We Can and deputy for IU, Enrique Santiago, has blamed the PP for “bad payer excuses” for not renewing the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), and has warned that it will not accept vetoes to any name, after that Victoria Rosell’s has come to the fore.
“If there is no agreement, it is because the PP does not want it,” summarized Santiago, who has transferred the “tiredness” of United We Can to the “excuses” of the ‘popular’, whom he has asked to be “a little more democratic” , “for not complying with the Constitution”. “They think they continue to live in bipartisanship,” he lamented.
The name of Rosell, the Government delegate against gender violence, has been ringing for days between a possible PP veto on her behalf in the negotiation. It was the president of the parliamentary group, Jaume Asens, who recognized that the Canarian judge is one of the preferred candidates to be a member of the CGPJ. From the PP they have already advanced that the former deputy and high position of Equality does not meet the profile of depoliticized candidates that they claim.
In statements to RNE, collected by Europa Press, Santiago has admitted that “it is not good” nor is it “appropriate” to talk about names, but he has accused the PP of “vetoing names in an undemocratic way” as soon as they are known. In any case, he has argued that the people proposed by the confederal group are “very suitable” to perform these functions, so they are not “willing” to accept vetoes.
According to sources from the confederal space, the name of Rosell arouses great support in United We Can and they consider that she is perfectly suitable for the position, since she has a highly valued profile in progressive circles.
However, other voices in the confluence emphasize that this support for Rosell is clear but that his profile entails a significant difficulty in the framework of the negotiation, given that he now holds an executive position and in the conversations between the Government and the PP speaking of a series of depoliticization requirements that complicate Rosell’s option.
Within the coalition, the frequent contacts between PSOE and United We Can are assumed by the head of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, and Santiago himself.
