A transcendent agreement to overcome political obstruction
Today, the front pages of newspapers highlight a historic event that took place in Spain. After five and a half years of deadlock, the PSOE and the PP have reached an agreement to renew the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and reform the Organic Law of the Judiciary. This pact has been mediated by Brussels and represents an important step for the depoliticization of the judiciary in Spain.
An agreement that has not convinced everyone
Although the PSOE and the PP celebrate this agreement as a success, other political forces are not satisfied with the result. The pro-independence parties, such as Junts, Esquerra, Bildu and the PNB, as well as the left and far-right parties, such as Podemos and Vox, have not supported this pact. They consider that this agreement is political and does not reach the majority of political forces in the Congress of Deputies.
The distribution of chairs and the new rules
According to the agreement, the PSOE and the PP have shared the ten seats of the CGPJ. In addition, decisions and appointments will henceforth require a strengthened three-fifths majority. This reform seeks to guarantee greater independence and depoliticization of the judiciary. The new members of the CGPJ will have six months to present a proposal on how the members of the body that governs the judiciary of the State should be chosen.
Reactions and perspectives
The reactions to this agreement have been diverse. The newspaper El País highlights the importance of this pact to overcome the judicial blockade and improve the reputation of Spanish democracy. On the other hand, El Mundo expresses some concern about the implementation of the agreement and the supervision of the European Union. Other media, such as ABC and La Razón, have different opinions on the agreement, but agree on its importance for Spanish justice.
conclusion
In summary, the agreement between the PSOE and the PP to renew the General Council of the Judiciary is a historic event that seeks to depoliticize the judiciary in Spain. Although it has not convinced everyone, it represents an important step for the independence and improvement of the judicial system. Its repercussions and its impact on the future of Spanish justice will have to be followed closely.
