Summar, between the satisfaction for the unblocking of the Judiciary and the discomfort of the pact with the PP

The negotiation between PSOE and PP for the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has overshadowed the minority partner of the Government. Sumar had been asking Pedro Sánchez for weeks to abandon the attempts to reach an agreement with Alberto Núñez Feijóo, which he anticipated would be unsuccessful, and to agree with them and the rest of the partners on a reform of the majority system to overcome the blockade of the main opposition party. In the last few hours, part of the coalition has tried to take advantage of its role in that negotiation, in which they claim to have proposed two of the ten progressive members, at the same time that they have tried to distance themselves from what a pact with the PP.

On Tuesday afternoon, the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, hailed the agreement reached as a “step forward”, although she immediately made an effort to distance herself from the PP, amid criticism of the five years of kidnapping to which Feijóo’s party has subjected the governing body of the judges. In addition, she assured that the distribution had been negotiated “jointly” within the progressive bloc “in proportion to the votes and representatives.”
