The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has made an institutional declaration this Tuesday after the decision of the Constitutional Court to block the debate in the Senate of the norm that debuted the reform of the appointment of the magistrals of this same Court. The Chief Executive has indicated that the Popular Party is responsible for this institutional crisis for not respecting the popular will expressed at the polls last November 2019. to end the “unjustifiable” blockade.
The socialist leader has made a call for calm and has guaranteed that the Council of Ministers will work for “strict compliance with the law” in order to enforce the Constitution. However, he has not anticipated what measures he is going to carry out, something that the spokesman for the Socialist Group in Congress, Patxi López, has not done either. He has not followed the procedure followed by his parliamentary group and that of Unidas Podemos, which included this reform as an amendment to the norm whose purpose was the reform of the Penal Code, specifically, the crimes of sedition and embezzlement.
