In fact, the current CGPJ election system, totally politicized, is the result <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-1985-12666\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a socialist law of 1985<\/a>. Obviously, <strong>that judges are chosen by politicians violates one of the pillars of democracy, which is judicial independence<\/strong>. An independence in which the PSOE has never believed, as it has been demonstrating for years.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, the minister of the presidency, <a href=\"https:\/\/cadenaser.com\/nacional\/2024\/06\/26\/felix-bolanos-en-hora-25-cadena-ser\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the socialist F\u00e9lix Bola\u00f1os, pointed out<\/a> <strong>that his agreement for the PP does not contemplate the election of judges by judges:<\/strong><em>\"I defend and support our model\"<\/em>, he stated on Cadena SER. His model, <strong>the PSOE model, is a politicized Justice in which politicians elect the judges<\/strong>, so as I pointed out yesterday, the pact with the PP is just smoke.
