The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has flatly rejected the proposal put ahead by the PP for the election of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) to make it clear that the one manner out of the present disaster is thru the PP chief, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, present “management” and proceed to signal the settlement that had been reached with the Executive.

In an interview with La Sexta, Bolaños recalled that after three weeks of negotiations the federal government reached an settlement with the PP that included a proposal for a joint regulation “to bolster the independence of justice” and alternatively the names of the 20 new members of the CGPJ and the twelve substitutes, in addition to the appointment of the magistrates of the Constitutional Court that rely on the Senate.

However, “when it was essential to signal, Feijóo was not in a position, they instructed him that he couldn’t signal and so they twisted his arm,” he lamented, assuring that the “issues of management and authority” of the PP chief inside the correct should not an issue of the federal government.

The solely settlement that the Government and the PSOE settle for is the one already reached with the PP by which “some facets of the Organic Law of the Judiciary had been reformed and judicial independence was bolstered”. “We vindicate Mr. Feijóo that he have a bit of authority and that he signal it”, he has completed off.
