“The trans law already has a political path, another thing is that the PSOE continues to have an internal debate that remains unresolved,” he says.
BILBAO, 31 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Secretary of the Organization of Podemos and Secretary of State for the 2030 Agenda, Lilith Vestrynge, has insisted that the “blockade” in the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) cannot be allowed, so that the PP ” keep your finger on the button until the moment you decide to unlock. In her opinion, this body should “resemble as much as possible to parliamentary reality”, which is “plural”.
In an interview granted to Radio Euskadi, collected by Europa Press, he criticized that the PP is in “a drift of constant blockade” of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), in which “it restarts a negotiation that finally paralyzes because it considers that is above democracy itself in our country and that the body has to continue without being renewed or changed”.
In addition, he has denounced that, during the negotiation process with the PSOE, he has established “a series of vetoes”, in particular he has alluded to Victoria Rosell, “a judge with an impeccable track record” and who has suffered “very great legal harassment “.
In any case, he has stressed that “that blockade” cannot be allowed and that the PP “has its finger on the button until the moment it decides to unlock” the renewal.
The representative of Podemos has opted for “the body to be as similar as possible to the parliamentary reality, to the political reality of our country and we do not depend on the three-fifths or the PP to carry out that reform.”
As he has indicated, “rather than working for a majority, it would be counting on everyone accepting the democratic rules by which reality in Congress is plural, diverse, and all the political forces have to be represented based on what they have the Spaniards voted”.
Asked about the voices calling for an intervention by the King in his role of moderation and arbitration, she considered that it is “a situation that must be unblocked through politics”, although she pointed out that “everything that the head of state in that sense and that promotes and supports a more democratic system, a renewal of a body that has not been renewed for four years will obviously be useful”.
In another order of things, he has defended that the draft general budget of the State for 2023 is “good globally” and has highlighted that, after the previous accounts were designed “more to respond to the immediacy” of the pandemic and the crisis generated, this year’s “go more to establish rights”.
With this objective, he added, a Tax on Great Fortunes has been proposed to have “more money” that can be used in “more aid and more public and social rights”. In addition, she has valued that a “settlement of rights” is being pursued for women and workers.
As he has assured, “in our plans is that the budgets go ahead because they are necessary at this time” of crisis and uncertainty.
Finally, he has insisted that the draft ‘law for the real and effective equality of trans people and for the guarantee of the rights of LGTBI people’ “has to continue on its way and be approved within the established deadlines, before Christmas, for it to be effective and enter the legislature”.
“It is evident that this law already has a political path, another thing is that the PSOE continues to have an internal debate that remains unresolved. But the reality is that the law has already seen the light, it has already passed through the Council of Ministers, has received the support of the trans and LGTBI collective,” said Vestrynge.
For this reason, he believes that who “has to go from the bureaucratic and administrative arguments for which the final approval of the law is delayed, to admit that he has a political problem that he will have to manage and face that the ‘trans law’ is very important in our country, it is the PSOE”.
