The spokesman for Podemos in Congress, Pablo EcheniqueEuropa PressAfter the failure of the negotiations between the Government and the PP to renew the CGPJ, Podemos returns to the fray. Pablo Echenique pressures the PSOE to resume the negotiation on the proposal to lower the majorities to renew the CGPJ. The purple ones consider that there are enough votes in Congress to change the law and overcome the blockade of the PP. Sources from the Executive point out that right now they are not contemplating that option and that the priority is to demand that the popular ones comply with the Constitution like this Wednesday President Pedro Sánchez has made in the control session to the Government. The PSOE and Podemos came to propose a bill a year ago in which they requested that 12 of the 20 members of the Council be elected by an absolute majority and not by three fifths parts of the House. In this way the PP would not be necessary to name the candidates. Finally the PSOE withdrew from that proposal and put it in a drawer in the face of the barrage of criticism it provoked. Sufficient majority A reform that could go ahead with the votes of the parliamentary partners of the Government, the independence and nationalist parties. That is what Echenique appeals to open the debate again and be able to approve a legal change that unblocks the breach of the Constitution practiced by the PP. The leader of Podemos considers that it is a sensible measure because he maintains the requirement of a reinforced majority as the absolute (176 votes) that would add at least half of the parties in the Chamber and could snatch the “blocking minority” of the PP. For Podemos, the “nth rupture” of the negotiations by the popular only leaves two possible scenarios: allow a “soft blow to democracy” to be consumed or reformulate the law of the Judiciary to elect by absolute majority the 12 members who must designate the Parliament. Echenique considers “very serious” and “unheard of” the “kidnapping” of the governing body of the judges throughout the legislature and calls for action on the matter in the face of the “constitutional contempt” of the main party of the opposition. Asked if Podemos would register the initiative alone, Echenique assures that they will first try to negotiate with the PSOE and other parliamentary groups to gather a sufficient majority.
