The GPCs deputy spokesperson considers the reform of the CGPJ proposed by PSOE and United We Can 'inadmissible', 'demands' the withdrawal of this initiative from Congress and recalls that' EU countries can

"We need technical, health, scientific and indisputable criteria that do not smell like politics to fight the pandemic," said the deputy spokesperson of the GPCs, Edmundo Bal, in the Congress of Deputies in relation to the parliamentary initiative presented today by the Orange party so that the Government accepts the European parameters in relation to the fight against the pandemic. "These objective criteria come from the EU, if we accept them no one will be able to doubt whether they are political or scientific." Bal has explained that it is "a traffic light, the territories in red, green or amber." "Today the whole of Spain is in red", and he recalled the need to "get to Christmas in green" so that "families, entrepreneurs, freelancers and workers have a good Christmas." "We need the agreement, if we do not get it, lives and jobs are destroyed," he said.

The spokesman for the liberal formation has insisted on "ending the political confrontation" by asking to go "together against the virus, thinking of obtaining the common good and not obtaining political profits." "We have the opportunity to tell the Spanish that politicians are the solution if we accept the criteria of the EU." Bal has put as an example of agreement the “modification of the penal code to prevent the forced sterilization of people with disabilities”, something for which he also expressed his gratitude to his colleague Sara Giménez.

Bal considers "inadmissible" the reform of the CGPJ proposed by PSOE and United We Can, "demands" the withdrawal of this initiative from Congress and reminds that "EU countries can stop economic aid to Spain." "It's called democratic conditionality, if you want it to help you, I put it as a condition that you meet the democratic standards of civilized countries." And he adds that the Government "did not expect the European reaction to be so strong." "It is something that the European commission already raises against Poland for a case identical to that of Spain if this reform finally reaches its approval, thus achieving an absolute politicization of the judiciary." "The CGPJ would become a subordinate power, there would be no separation of powers," he concluded.
