Pablo Echenique thanked the members of Podemos in the regions who, as he wrote, had negotiated in good faith, while the Frente Amplio negotiated behind their backs with the PSOE for the Senate. He also accused progressive media of spreading lies and contributing to demoralizing them. He also thanked those who defended both his political project and, in his words, "the facts and reality" on social media. Echenique stated that Podemos could push for an independent project from the PSOE and without compromises, after Sumar had disintegrated in just three years. He argued that this autonomy would allow for denouncing the rearmament, the handing over of the CGPJ to the PP, the corruption of the PSOE, and, he said, the protection of the interests of rentiers. He also highlighted the joint candidacy of Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom he described as the left-wing leaders with the most recognition and appeal at that time. The Podemos leader anticipated that media pressure would increase and accused the media of publishing false polls that would attribute votes from other parties to the Frente Amplio. He stated that this coverage was due to the fear of a left that did not obey orders or accept agreements for a few senators. He urged his supporters to move forward and pointed out that on Sunday, November 29, voters could decide at the polls. #Podemos #Izquierda #Elecciones2023 (translated)

Pablo Echenique told Alberto that he should not treat people as if they were idiots. He stated that, before the worst rearmament in the history of Spain, the CGPJ had been handed over to the PP, serious cases of corruption had occurred, and rent-seeking had been protected during the worst housing crisis. #España #Corrupción #Vivienda (translated)

Jesús Villegas described the CGPJ as an institution immobilized by its political struggles, using the image of a broken spinal cord.

Judge Teo stated that the threats against a judge in the performance of her duties had reached the point of making security necessary. He also claimed that the CGPJ had not managed to issue a unanimous statement in her support due to the refusal of the progressive members, and that, in his opinion, this affected the rule of law, not just judges. #EstadoDeDerecho #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Conservative members of the CGPJ express their anger at the progressive bloc's veto of a statement supporting judge Beatriz Biedma, who has been the target of harassment, and suggest that this refusal reflects the influence of the PSOE in the matter. #IndependenciaJudicial #CGPJ #Biedma (translated)

The Organic Law of the Judiciary establishes that the Plenary will annually designate the members of the committees of the Council. In this situation, the president of the CGPJ, Isabel Perelló, has invited the members to "reach an agreement" at the next plenary, as the CGPJ explained in a statement. #PoderJudicial #CGPJ #RenovaciónSupremo (translated)

MagistraThor stated that the members of the CGPJ José Antonio Montero, José Luis Costa, Pilar Jiménez, Eduardo Martínez Mediavilla, Gema Espinosa, José María Páez, Esther Rojo, Carlos Orga, Isabel Revuelta, and Alejandro Abascal had proposed to the plenary a statement regarding reports of possible acts of harassment, surveillance, or intimidation against Judge Beatriz Biedma and her surroundings. According to the author, the text expressed solidarity with Biedma without prejudging facts or responsibilities and defended judicial independence. MagistraThor pointed out that it had not been approved and argued that it aimed to show support for the judge and for the entire judicial career. He said he did not understand the opposition of the members whom he described as progressive nor, in his opinion, the CGPJ's renunciation of defending judicial independence. He added that a colleague had told him that they should still be thankful that a file had not been opened against Biedma. #IndependenciaJudicial #CGPJ #Derecho (translated)

The rejection of the progressive members of the General Council of the Judiciary has prevented the issuance of a statement of support for Judge Beatriz Biedma, who is investigating alleged harassment and surveillance against her, proposed by the conservative sector that expresses its concern about these events. #IndependenciaJudicial #CGPJ #BeatrizBiedma (translated)

MagistraThor described the system of appointing members of the CGPJ as disastrous and stated that political parties appointed them and that they acted under their orders, with hardly any autonomy. She added that she hoped that if the government changed, the system would be reformed so that judges would choose the judicial members, as, she said, happened in all European countries. #Justicia #CGPJ #ReformaJudicial (translated)

Journalist María Jamardo wrote that the leftist sector of the CGPJ opposed issuing a statement of support for all judges. According to her, nine members aligned with the Government distanced themselves from the request of the president, Isabel Perelló, who sought unanimity, and also did not present an alternative text. Jamardo described the episode as an "institutional boycott" in a publication of El Debate. #CGPJ #Justicia #Política (translated)
