After the pact, the time has come to take stock of the damages of the more than five years of interim to which the Popular Party has subjected the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). One of the main consequences of this blockade is the accumulation of up to almost a hundred vacant positions at the top of the main courts. Making these appointments will, without a doubt, be one of the priorities of the new members appointed as a result of the pact between the Government and Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party.
The veto on the appointment of judges until the CGPJ was renewed caused dozens of judicial positions to continue serving their terms outside the five-year period established by law, which prevented other judges from applying for those positions. And also that there were dozens of places occupied by substitutes or directly empty. In total there are 98 vacancies pending appointment by the CGPJ, 26 of them in the Supreme Court, where almost one in three positions is unfilled.
