Sánchez demands that the PP lift the vetoes but does not consider renewing the Judicial Power without the popular

Negotiations between the Government and the PP for the renewal of the Judiciary have been broken, but Pedro Sánchez does not plan to recover the legal reform that would change the required majorities and allow that body to be renewed in the Cortes without the main opposition party.

The situation is blocked, but the President of the Government, who blames the PP for the fiasco, trusts that there will be a rectification of the opposition and that the vetoes will be lifted, especially Judge José Ricardo De Prada, who was the main obstacle because United We Can He claimed that he was among the members and the PP refused outright.

Prada was fundamental in the judgment of the Gürtel case that prompted the motion of censure that removed the PP from power in 2018. Sánchez has offered no other way out than rectifying the PP.

The president has insisted that it makes no sense for the PP to accept the advisers proposed by United We Can for RTVE, which was agreed yesterday, and not for the Judiciary.

The president has defended Prada, although without citing him, by pointing out that the PP cannot veto candidates "with an accredited curriculum."

“I hope that the opposition will abandon the blockade.

With the emergency that we are experiencing, Spain deserves an opposition that walks the path of dialogue.

When there is a will to reach an agreement, there is a will.

The proposed names are still people with a resume, accredited.

Talking about vetoes is not the way to approach a negotiation.

The blockade cannot be the alternative to the agreement ”, he assured.

“With RTVE we have achieved a consensus that we have not had for 15 years.

There, all parties gave in to our initial claims.

The blockade in the Judiciary and the rest of the organs is not understood.

We have been flexible in proposing alternatives.

Let's hope the opposition reconsiders.

Spain needs a new political climate of harmony ”, he insisted.

The PP and the PSOE have broken negotiations at dawn this Friday to renew the main constitutional bodies, especially the General Council of the Judiciary.

Hours after reaching the first great agreement of the legislature to renew the council of RTVE, which was closed without many problems with representatives of the PSOE, the PP, United We Can and the PNV, the veto of the popular to judge José Ricardo De Prada , key in the sentence of the

that prompted the motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy, has been the definitive obstacle that has prevented the agreement, according to sources from both sectors admit.

Unidos Podemos did not accept that veto at any time, and neither did the PSOE.

The first vice president of the Government, Carmen Calvo, has regretted this Friday in an interview on Canal Sur Radio that the PP puts the "focus in front of people with names and surnames" when negotiating the renewal of the Judiciary, something that it does " very difficult to carry out ”the agreement.

“I'm not going to bring up names.

The important thing is that the judges act as such in an impartial way with the norms that we give them.

As this is the most important thing, when you dance with so many names to [say] yes or to veto, things end up being very difficult.

The most important thing is the quality of the curriculum of the people who come to the body, because that quality is objectified and they are requirements that must be met before proposing them, ”Calvo stressed.

It was easier for the progressive sector to take over the veto of Victoria Rosell, a former member of the United We Can, but not that of De Prada, a respected judge not strictly linked to any party.

The PP did not give in and that has ended up breaking negotiations that seemed on track.

The PSOE, which governs in coalition with United We Can, could not afford a break with its partner on a key issue.

The PP negotiators seemed willing to veto practically any judge who had any connection with United We Can or was clearly proposed by them, and that has ended up breaking the negotiations.

Despite Pablo Casado's attempt to break with the past and get away from the trauma of the

, the sentence that led to the motion of censure continues to be a central element of the party's history and the popular do not accept under any circumstances having to vote as vowel to one of its architects.

This latest break also leaves the renewal of the Constitutional Court, the Court of Accounts and the Ombudsman up in the air.

The Judiciary has had an expired mandate for more than two years, an absolutely exceptional situation.

This Friday was the third fiasco in the negotiation of the Judicial Power in two years.

In December 2018, Judge Manuel Marchena resigned, already agreed as president.

In August 2020, Pablo Casado backed down when everything was almost closed.
