Marlaska bet on the election in the Congress of the 20 members of the CGPJ

the minister of The Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has been declared in Bilbao as a strong advocate of the parliamentary election, not only of the eight jurists of recognized prestige, but of the 20 members of the General Council of Judicial Power (CGPJ), although he pointed out that should be designed for a more comprehensive approach. Barely 48 hours after the PP considered broken the covenant for the renewal of that body, has said that he does not understand that one of the bodies of control of the Judiciary, one of the three powers of the State, is an outsider and is not "supported by the popular sovereignty". Another thing is the parliamentary procedure (for them), that, in his opinion, should allow "all candidates to appear and make an exhibition of his model of judicial power, of his plan of action, and which can be questioned, because the entire high office has to be transparent".

Marlaska has made these statements after the meeting, organised by the cadena SER and the high Court of Justice of the Basque Country, "Space for reflection-The challenge of migration: citizenship without the nation". Marlaska referred to the criticism of politicization of Justice that have arisen following the resignation of judge Manuel Marchena to preside over the organ of Government of the judges. The magistrate took this decision after making public the message from WhatsApp that the spokesman of the PP in the Senate, Ignacio Cosidó, forwarded to his colleagues in the upper Chamber, and in which he was considered a puppet of the PP. The designation of Marchena should be voted on by the members at the plenary session, but came on the last day 12, during the negotiations of the PP and the PSOE for the renewal of the Judiciary.
