Pedro Sanchez offers Feijo to renew his judicial and constitutional powers by June 12.

12 June. This is the deadline given by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, to the new leader of the PP, Alberto Nunez Feio, including the first meeting to be held this Thursday at the Palacio de la Moncloa. The Galician leader arrived at the presidential complex at 11 a.m. The meeting lasted almost exactly three hours and in the previous days the tension between them only increased. Sanchez has put on the table the unblocking of the judiciary, which has worked for more than three years, and the PP’s support for anti-crisis measures against the Royal Decree law, which Feio will not support unless the executive agrees to cut taxes. Which is not fully restricted, but 7500 million can be added to personal income tax alone.

The renewal of the General Council of the Court is one of the issues on the agenda of the hearing. In fact, the government has offered up to 11 agreements with the opposition leader on the same number of issues. The first is to unblock the governing body of judges, which has been functioning since 2019. The idea of ​​the government is that the renewal of the CGPJ coincides with the Constitutional Court, so the deadline will be June 12, when the deadline expires. Four of the 12 magistrates of the Supreme Court: appointed by the executive and assigned to the CGPJ.

Without one it is difficult to name the rest, so the blockade imposed by the Cassado PP on the CGPJ could lead to the return of the Constitutional Court.

However, in the previous days Feio was not shown to be very inclined to renew the CGPJ. In his view, this is not in the citizen’s priorities. What he says, he says, is an economic crisis and rising prices, which the PP leader is proposing to reverse with a direct drop in the IPRF, which, though he did not want to establish a figure, could be around 7500. million.

Speaking after the meeting, the PP president said it was “very sincere”. “And less productive than I would have liked,” he added. “I have no good news for families, workers or companies. “I can not pass on to the citizens who have the worst time that we have been able to materialize one economic proposal, beyond the law of the royal decree, which the government intends to approve without further delay,” said Feiyou.

“Unfortunately, this is the first conclusion. “The president did not even consider it appropriate to initiate an alternative proposal, which I have presented in general terms, and we will send it accurately and documented to the presidency,” he added, confirming the inaccuracy of his multiple messages. Tax cuts, from 20,000 million hydrocarbons to 7,500 personal income taxes, to cite two examples.

As for the CGPJ, Feiyo said they agreed to a “resumption of negotiations” and raised the need to change the “method” of election so that “judges and magistrates” were the “best profiles” appointed.

11 Covenants of Pedro Sanchez

The renewal of the judiciary is one of the 11 pacts proposed by Sanchez to Feio, which the government has divided into four blocks: protection and renewal of the constitution and democratic regeneration; Unity in responding to the economic consequences of war and a commitment to mitigating climate change; State Agreement against Gender-Based Violence and Loyalty in State Policy.

“During this time, the legitimacy of the coalition government and the president himself from the main opposition party has been repeatedly questioned. “The unprecedented situation in Spanish democracy has led the government to relinquish its constitutional legitimacy to carry out its work,” Moncloa wrote in a statement detailing 11 points.

The first of the agreements proposed by the government is the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, which has been in place for three years since the expiration of its mandate, a situation which the judiciary itself calls “unsustainable”. After that, the next step is also the renewal of the Constitutional Court, which is responsible for renewing the members appointed by the government and the GSPJ next June.

Also in judicial matters, the Sanchez executive intends to propose to Feijo to reform Article 49 of the Constitution. In May last year, the Council of Ministers approved an update project that, among other things, replaces the term “disabled” with “disabled person” or provides for various dimensions of protection for these people.

Another agreement is the abolition of the required number of votes for people living abroad to vote in elections, or the return of the PP to the Anti-Transfiguration Pact and to institutional stability.

On the other hand, the government has offered Feijóo to approve a national response plan to the economic and social consequences of the Ukraine war and on energy issues, with the executive proposing an agreement on energy transition, the 2030 agenda and the price guarantee. Affordable and stable energy in wartime.

Also in times of crisis, the executive is asking for Feijo to support and coordinate European funds and a plan for restoration, transformation and resilience. On the other hand, he demanded the protection of the State Pact against Gender-Based Violence, which was signed in December 2017 by all political forces, communities and local units represented in the FEMP represented in Parliament.

They also called for a pact on foreign policy, which they say seeks to “strengthen and expand its position on the international, European stage” and its relations with the countries with which it has “fundamental principles” in the neighborhood. Foreign policy “. Outside our country, such as multilateralism and respect for international law.”

Finally, they seek consensus on issues related to national security or cybersecurity with the main opposition party.
