Pide al PSOE que sea "leal" as the PP was when it reformed this principle in 2009 y la oposición critica esta reforma 'ad hoc'
MADRID, 10 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Senate Justice Commission has rejected the seven vetoes and the 22 amendments formulated to the reform of universal justice. The PP has voted in favor of the bill, while CiU has abstained and the rest of the groups have voted against.
The veto proposals, that they have collected 15 votes against, nine in favor and the abstention of CiU, have been raised by the PSOE, United Left, the PNV, ERC, Entesa and Amaiur, who have criticized the urgency of the processing and the absence of debate in a matter of such importance.
From CiU, Senator María Rieradevall i Tarrés has defended the five amendments presented by the Catalan group asking to recover the complaint and popular action to prosecute these crimes, as well as the suppression of the provision that authorizes the archiving of currently open cases.
The plenary session convened in the Upper House for this week will move forward, without foreseeable changes, the norm, que será remitida al Boletin Oficial del Estado y dará 'carpetazo' to a dozen cases opened in the National Court. Among them, the genocide in Tibet or the murders of cameraman José Couso, of the Jesuit Ignacio Ellacuría or the diplomat Carmelo Soria.
The proposal to modify the Organic Law of the Judiciary has not passed through the Board of Spokespersons or the Senate Board, which is the usual procedure. Upon arrival processed urgently, It is the president of the Upper House who has the power to qualify the projects and process them; this has been the case.
EL PP DEFIENDE SU "CONSTITUCIONALIDAD"
The PP Justice spokesperson, Manuel Altava, ha exigido "lealtad y coherencia" tras recordar que su grupo fue "leal" when the PSOE modulated universal justice in 2009. In your opinion, es necesario mejorar su regulación ya que ha sido "un auténtico fracaso" no practical results.
"Los procesalistas dicen que España iba de Quijote. Ahora se pretende unificar criterios", Altava said, what, like his PP partner Silvia Franco, has highlighted that this law is in accordance with comparative law, respeta la Constitución y "jamás garantizará la impunidad a delitos tan graves".
The PSOE has criticized the rejection of the request for the Minister of Justice to appear, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, y ha advertido de que se trata de una reforma 'ad hoc' to dismiss the dozen cases opened in the National Court. "Es una ley que liquida, settlement, anula y hace desaparecer el principio de justicia universal", He added.
The PSOE Justice spokesperson, Arcadio Díaz Tejera, ha desafiado a los 'populares' to answer which of the currently open cases will remain open with the new law and has questioned whether the Supreme Court will assess the suitability of the judges to hear these investigations.
"Comprendo que confíe en quien fue director general en el Gobierno de Aznar y presidió un acto en el Vaticano, but ¿is that he distrusts the judges of the National Court?", the socialist has indicated in reference to the president of the Supreme Court, Carlos Lesmes, to censure the future elimination of popular action in these proceedings.
La senadora de ERC Ester Capella ha confiado en que el Tribunal Constitucional o las Cortes internacionales "enmienden la plana" a España por el "atentado" to the protection of the victims that this reform entails. In your opinion, su aplicación retroactiva supone una "intromisión intolerable" to the Judiciary, que vulnera "de forma flagrante" legal certainty.
From the Entesa, el parlamentario Joan Saura ha advertido de que el PP ha optado por "derogar" la justicia universal al "cambiar derechos humanos por dinero y por relaciones diplomáticas". Ha criticado también la tramitación que ha llevado "a velocidad de la luz" para "despachar en muy poco tiempo un hito" on human rights.
On your side, el senador del PNV Jokin Bildarratz ha reprobado la tramitación de esta "reforma a la carta" prepared for countries like China, Israel, USA. "Se está actuando en el más absurdo de los clientelismos de Estados que nos dictan su manera de ver los derechos humanos. ¿Where are the murderers going to be most comfortable?, the gangsters or the corrupt?", has added.
