the PSOE put "in the pillory" to Marchena when "leaked" his name
The deputy secretary of Organization of the PP, Javier Maroto, has considered today that the PSOE has put "in the pillory" to the judge Manuel Marchena to "filter" his name to preside over the Supreme Court and the Council of the Judicial Power "without waiting for them to be appointed the vowels ".
Speaking to reporters at the annual awards ceremony of the magazine "Cambio 16", Maroto stressed that the Socialists not only put Marchena in the pillory, "also the impartiality of the judges and the democratic election system itself" .
In his opinion, the PSOE has caused that this system, "usual in the rest of Europe, is seen as a dark procedure".
Maroto has commented that in the PP has maintained a "discreet silence" on the irresponsible attitude of the Government and that his party "not only shares but also understands the decision, from the professional and human point of view, Judge Marchena"
He added that he was Marchena would have adopted the same decision as this magistrate and has specified that "the decision of the Government to make his name public without electing the members, has done irreparable damage."
According to the PP leader, "their impartiality and the institutional responsibility of the PP have been questioned and they have tried to present this renewal as something obscure".
Maroto has announced that the PP takes the agreement as broken and suspends the renewal until the Justice Minister, Dolores Delgado, is dismissed, because "it is the most questioned" and "the dirtiest of all" the Executive.
He insisted that the PP believes that the government is "irresponsible" and "has behaved in a manner completely contrary to the democratic trajectory of the country since 1978."
"With absolute majorities or without them -he has continued- the CGPJ had been renewed with democratic normality, maintaining the same criteria as now", and "while Delgado is Sánchez's justice minister there is no possibility of maintaining the dialogue".
He has blamed the Prime Minister and the minister, from whom he has asked for his "immediate resignation", from the leak and from trying to show the PP "as a dark party".
"If Sanchez were a state politician," he added, "now that he gives so much advice on State policy, he would do two things: take care of the renewal of the CGPJ with a little more affection and put this minister in the street in the street. immediate. "
Regarding the reason that led the PP to negotiate the renewal of the Council, Maroto explained that they tried to have "institutional responsibility" and that what the legal order says is that this renewal "is done by three fifths of the House or not make".
In his opinion, the PP had two options or block or "for best interests" to collaborate in the renewal of judges, "among others, things, because there is someone who is responsible in Spain in questioning the independence of the judiciary" .
Maroto has not wanted to assess whether the leak of an internal whatsapp of the spokesman of the PP in Senate, Ignacio Cosidó, on the election of Marchena as president of the CGPJ would facilitate unanimous agreements has had to do with the decision of the magistrate.
