The new General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) is starting with a priority objective: to find a consensus formula that protects the institution from possible blockages and internal struggles. A purpose that seems almost an obligation given the current balance of forces in the body, with eleven progressive members (ten members plus the president) and ten conservatives. In addition, the most important decisions must be taken by a reinforced majority of 13 votes. Members of both sectors agree that the most immediate thing is to find a balance for the distribution of key positions.
The first test will take place next Wednesday, when the first ordinary plenary session will be held after the election of the president, Isabel Perelló. The members achieved this appointment thanks to an agreement in extremis and after more than a month of intense negotiations. It is expected that on that day the judge of the Supreme Court Dimitry Berberoff, considered conservative, will be elected unanimously as vice president of the High Court. The forecast is also that the legal commissions will be established, which are the skeleton of the CGPJ and whose composition the members have been debating for days. Both blocks have agreed that one group will have the presidency and another the majority in each of these commissions that serve to organize the day to day of the body.
