Towards the Elections of the Barcelona Advocacy College (ICAB)… and with curves. In the absence of new candidates to take the step, the polls to govern the Palauet Casades will face two lists headed by Cristina Vallejo and Joan Ramon Ramos. The pre -campaign has started moving between them, with accusations of “clientelism and friends” by Ramos to those who, for the moment, Vallejo has not wanted to replicate. “It is not his style,” he says from the lawyer’s ranks.
In recent weeks, both lawyers have presented their electoral tickets, formed by three candidates for dean, vice -dean and secretary more 13 other deputies – so the rest of the members of the ICAB Governing Board is called. In total, 16 professionals who will beat for the lean participation that these sets usually decide, both in the ICAB and in the rest of professional associations.
Both lists have cooked over low heat for months, although the desire of both lawyers for accessing the Deanery were an open secret in the corrillos of the capital. Vallejo, a civilist and recognized expert in real estate law, who throughout the last mandate has coordinated for three years the training area of the school, wants to happen to Jesús M. Sánchez with a “transverse list that has specialists in all areas of law” and,, As stressed, “not continuous”.
The lawyer knows that among her colleagues her bet is interpreted as a continuation of the master lines drawn no longer by Sánchez, but by Maria Eugènia Gay. That does not have to be negative, they consider some jurists consulted by this means. In the last four years, the voice of the school has been taken into account in issues such as the fight against multirreincidence and the extension of the judicial plant. The house is heard, respected, so “something will have been done well in this last stage,” the same sources argue.
But it is evident that If improvable management aspects emerge, they will be recorded in the Vallejo inventory. “Our candidacy focuses its action on the legitimate owners of the school, their members. If for continuism we must understand knowledge and vocation by the institution, I say with pride and prestige that yes. We are an experienced candidacy“He recently said in his long setting as an aspiring.
Controversy for management
If the skinny point of Vallejo is its link with the outgoing team, the Achilles heel of Ramos It is just the opposite. Or at least this is seen by many observers. The prosecutor has exercised most of his professional career at the PWC consultancy and has been Barça manager, from where he has decidedly promoted his female team. He is now a teacher in several universities. Ramos was president of the ICAB Fiscal Law section in the late nineties and treasurer between 2001 and 2007.
But for a long time, it is dropped into some circles of togados. In recent times it has been seen more by the ICAB and, from the surroundings of its platform, it is claimed that it is very dear to the institution. But the truth is that your profile resembles rather that of Outsider that comes to look for the icing of a long professional career after years away from the day -to -day life of school … and its members.
Ramos has chosen to extend a halo of suspicion about the management of ICAB. The prosecutor does not hide: his electoral program criticizes “clientele practices” and “friends”. “We will establish clear rules that avoid the use of ICAB as a personal trampoline. The school is and will be only at the service of the profession,” is added in the text.
This idea is accompanied by a “Rigorous Economic Rationalization Plan” Designed to optimize available resources. The objective: “Eliminate superfluous expenses and ensure that each euro serves to improve services.” From Ramos’s candidacy, it is estimated that at least 500,000 euros could be rescued to allocate them to other measures such as aid for the training and conciliation of professionals.
At first glance, these neatness demands surprise since Ramos has been part of the Advisory Economic Commission of the ICAB. From the other side this fact is underlined: the professional knows the numbers on the heart since he is part of this group as former extestero. They are not understood, from this point of view, the criticisms of the prosecutor.
The Ramos Contrargumento environment: precisely by knowing the detailed destiny of resources can be optimized for the benefit of foot literants. A is sought “Real change” and not simply cosmeticIt points.
Catalan and fees
This is the main friction line between both lawyers. This does not tarnish for each one to have designed a complete promises program for their mandate. Vallejo prioritizes, among other issues, the return of the collegial fee in quality training, the improvement of the conditions of the ex officio, give more voice to the young law and the impulse of the collegiate life. Ramos puts ideas such as the freezing of collegial quotas, the creation of an office to solve doubts to self -employed, family conciliation measures and new aid for low -income professionals.
Both decanables coincide at least in two aspects: the creation of a Stable framework in fees and the Impulse of Catalan in the administration of justice.
More than 24,100 colleges are called to the elections. They can do it on June 19 at the headquarters of Barcelona (and 18 in advance), as well as in the ten Icab delegations. The members will have the last word (if they will vote).
