Brussels asks the Government for information on the amnesty law. The Commissioner of Justice, Didier Reynders, has done so in a letter, according to the EFE Agency. The letter, sent to ministers Félix Bolaños and Pilar Llop, expresses “serious concerns in relation to the ongoing debates on the possible adoption of an amnesty law.” And therein lies the great change of the European Commission, which until now had avoided ruling on the amnesty of the process under the premise that not even the text is known.
“Although at the moment there is no formal proposal, this has become an issue of considerable importance in the public debate and the Commission has been on this matter, including by a large number of citizens,” explains Reynders, who in Recently, he had issued warnings against the amnesty reaching the crime of embezzlement.
“I would be grateful if you could provide me with more detailed information, especially regarding the personal, material and temporal scope of this planned law,” the note adds. In recent days the right has launched an offensive in Brussels against the law, despite the fact that it has not even been registered in Congress.
“The Commission remains committed to monitoring and respecting the fundamental values of the EU in all member states and will continue to work with the Spanish authorities to ensure respect for the rule of law,” Reynders states in the letter, which begins by recalling the blockade of the Power of attorney.
In the case of the governing body of judges, Reynders recalls that it is a situation that causes “serious concerns” and that the European Commission has asked for “solutions on multiple occasions.” “There has been no progress in its renewal, despite the urgency,” says Brussels, which has always insisted on the need to renew the CGPJ before proceeding to change the system of electing the governing body of judges, which is the last excuse that the PP found to refuse to reach an agreement with Pedro Sánchez and maintains the blockade for more than five years. “No steps have been taken to adapt the procedure for electing judges taking into account European standards,” Reynders laments.
Sources from the PSOE leadership have downplayed the letter this Wednesday asking for explanations about the amnesty law that the socialists are negotiating with Junts to guarantee their support for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez. In fact, socialist sources remind Reynders that the competence over the text will, at the time, rest with Congress and, therefore, the legislative branch, and that it is not a matter for which the acting Government can give explanations.
