The popular ones criticize that the procedure has been “stressed” and that the Vice-Presidency of the guarantee court has also fallen on a progressive magistrate
The election of Cándido Conde-Pumpido as the new president of the Constitutional Court and the appointment of the also progressive magistrate Inmaculada Montalbán as vice president is for the PP of Alberto Núñez Feijóo one more proof of the extension of ‘sanchismo’ to the court of guarantees. “We understand that doubts may arise among public opinion about their independence,” they lamented this Wednesday in Genoa given the former State Attorney General’s political profile during the governments of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
From the first opposition party they insist that the election of the president of the Constitutional is not trivial since it is a fundamental body in our Rule of Law, which must “guarantee the supremacy of our Magna Carta and its compliance by all powers public”. Unfortunately, they point out, to this day, “it is an institution weakened by the effects of sanchismo.” “It was already unprecedented that two former members of the Government in office – in reference to the appointments of Juan Carlos Campo and Laura Díez – became part of the court appointed by the same Government that appointed them for their previous functions,” they reflect in Genoa.
The popular ones also criticize that what was an unwritten pact by which the vice-presidency of the Constitutional Court has always been occupied by a magistrate of opposite origin to that of the president, has not been fulfilled, so that a conservative should have been elected. A decision that for Feijóo and his leadership shows that the Executive of Pedro Sánchez acts “skipping respected consensus” until now “stressing” the entire procedure.
Despite this, the conservatives are confident that the court – with a progressive majority until 2026 – can shield its ordinary action from the “institutional voracity” demonstrated by the Government throughout the legislature that has placed militants “by hand” and socialist sympathizers at the head of institutions ».
