Madrid 06/12/2023 Act. at 09:03 CET
The traditional institutional event is celebrated this Wednesday in the Cortes Generales when five years have passed without the General Council of the Judiciary being renewed
The Spanish constitution celebrates 45 years today validity in the midst of great tension and political tension over the amnesty lawwhich PP and Vox consider unconstitutional, and when they are met five years without renewal the General Council of the Judiciary.
The traditional institutional act in the Cortes Generales will also be marked by the need for agreements from the minority Government of Pedro Sánchez, which will now have to negotiate with one more actor, after announcing yesterday We can your decision to leave the coalition partnerAdd, and move to the Mixed Group.
The nationalist and independence groups – EH Bildu, PNV, ERC, Junts and BNG – who have all become essential parliamentary partners for the coalition Executive in this legislature will not attend the celebration of the Constitution this Wednesday, as is usual.
One more year Vox will not participate either, who will take part in the flag raising but will be absent from the celebration with the argument that the PSOE and its partners “trample” the Magna Carta. Santiago Abascal will attend the protest called by Denaes in front of the PSOE headquarters, on Ferraz street, coinciding with this event.
The focus will also be on the presence of the five Podemos deputies who have announced that they are going to the Mixed Party and who promise to raise their voices, since their general secretary, Ione Herbhas already summoned journalists.
The representation of autonomous presidents will be reduced to six, five from the PP -Andalucía, Juanma Moreno; Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco; Galicia, Alfonso Rueda; Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and Murcia, Fernando López Miras- and Fernando Clavijo, from the Canary Coalition but who governs with the popular ones on the islands.
As is traditional, the Basque Lehendakari and the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia will not be present, and the regional presidents of the PSOE will also be absent.
When there is already a date for Congress to debate the taking into account consideration of the amnesty lawNext Tuesday, December 12, the high authorities of the State will also be present in Congress, such as the presidents of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ).
Thus, to the traditional exchanges on the need to change or not the Magna Carta, this year the Popular Party’s reproaches will surely be added to the amnesty law, which they consider an amendment to the Constitution, and to the figure of the international verifiers to the agreements between the PSOE and ERC and Junts.
The PP, which has its new spokesperson in Congress with Miguel Tellado, has also been the target of criticism from the left for the blockade to renew the General Council of the Judiciary. In this regard, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has shown himself willing to negotiate, although he will only renew this body if the PSOE agrees to reform the election method, an option that does not convince the socialists.
The allusions to ‘lawfare’ in the Government agreement between the PSOE and Junts and the protests by judges and prosecutors will also influence the celebration.
The events will begin at 10:30 with the raising of the flag, which has already left its traditional stage in Colón and is located in the Plaza de la Marina Española, in front of the Senate. The presidents of the Upper House and the Lower House, Pedro Rollán and Francina Armengol, will preside over the event, accompanied by the Chief of the Defense Staff and personnel from the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Civil Guard.
The anniversary It will be held starting at noon in Congress, where the institutional event returns to the Salón de Pasos Perdidos after several years being held outside, in front of the Lions Gate, due to the pandemic.
