"Mr President, I would like to condemn the abolition in Spain of one of the principles of all democracies: the separation of powers. The Government has just presented a law aimed at subjecting the judiciary to its decisions and, to this end, has had no hesitation in manipulating the law and parliamentary procedures.
When this law is implemented, the Spanish legal system will fall victim to great instability, inoperability and manipulation, by creating situations of deadlock in the General Council of the Judiciary which will prevent it from moving forward in its decision-making. And those decisions will be subordinated to the wishes of the government.
This abuse will probably be analysed by the Constitutional Court, but the European Union cannot remain silent in relation to these actions, which remove the independence of the judiciary. The Union must ask itself why a Member State is trying to take control of the operation of the government body of the judiciary. If the European Union truly wants to become an area of freedom, security and justice, it must intervene in order to guarantee the independence of the judiciary in Spain."@en1
