EUROPA PRESS: Margallo: “Judge what happened in Tibet does 20 years with the media we have is illusory and creates tremendous conflicts”

MADRID, 20 (EUROPA PRESS)

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel García-Margallo, ha defendido este jueves la limitación de la Justicia universal porque "España no puede convertirse en una especie de gendarme internacional". "Pensar que España puede juzgar lo que pasó en el Tíbet hace 15 o 20 años con los medios que tenemos es ilusorio y nos crea unos conflictos tremendos", He said.

In an interview in Antenna 3 Collection by Europa Press, Margallo has defended that universal justice corresponds to the International Criminal Court, Despite its limitations of jurisdiction –They recognize it 122 countries of a total of 193 And you can only judge crimes committed since its creation–. Only Spain and Argentina, He said, tenían esta "vocación de justiciero internacional".

Margallo did not want to specify whether the Chinese government pressed Spain to change the law by virtue of which a genocide was investigated in Tibet, pero ha considerado "obvio" que si un juez pretende encarcelar a varios expresidentes y dirigentes chinos es normal que "pregunten qué está pasando".

The Spanish answer, He said, It was explaining that in Spain there is separation of powers, que el Ejecutivo no puede controlar a los jueces y que "el Gobierno estaba haciendo lo que podía hacer y no había ningún motivo de animadversión hacia China".

Asked about the decision of the judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz, Not to close the investigation for the death of the camera José Couso in Irak, has responded: "Si consideran que la legislación aprobada por el Parlamento es inconstitucional hacen muy bien en…", But the phrase has not ended.

Margallo ha aludido además a la reforma fiscal que planea el Gobierno y ha apostado por "bajar aquellos impuestos que son costes laborales, que son las cotizaciones a la Seguridad Social", Because they are costs that pay the products that are manufactured in Spain, y "sustituirlo por impuestos que se devuelvan a los exportadores".

Instead, He has not given clues about the PP list to European elections. In fact, has joked that the last list for which someone has asked him in the UE es la de "los sancionados en Ukraine and Russia" And he said not knowing what the chief of the Executive will do. "Nunca presumiré de haber entendido al presidente Rajoy", He said.
