The CGPJ orders to continue investigating the criticisms of Judge Eloy Velasco to Irene Montero | Spain

The Permanent Commission of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has urged its disciplinary authority on Tuesday, Ricardo Conde, to continue investigating the Judge of the National Audience Eloy Velasco for his criticisms of Podemos and The former equality minister Irene Montero Regarding the law of only yes is yes. The so -called Disciplinary Action, Ricardo Conde, I would have proposed to file the proceedings that opened last Decemberbut the main executive body of the Council has rejected that option and forced him to continue with the investigation. The permanent has made the same decision regarding a judge in Madrid, Carlos del Valle, who, during an interrogation of the humorist Héctor de Miguel, known as Quequé, He raised Pedro Zerolo square as an analogy of his joke about dynamiting the Cazgamuros Valley (called by Franco Valle de los Fallen).

The criticisms of Judge Velasco that has examined the disciplinary authority of the CGPJ, advanced by the country, They were pronounced by the magistrate at a conference on regulatory compliance in companies On November 13. « Suddenly they believed (alludes to Podemos) that they were teaching us the world. They tried to explain what is to consent to … to a jurist, who we have taken from Roman law knowing what the consent is. And the express, and the tacit consent, and the consequent acts. And a thousand things more than Irene Montero will learn from his cashier of Mercadona nor can he give us classes to others, » said Velasco. The Eurodiputada worked as a young man, while studying at the university, as a cashier in a supermarket, a circumstance that has already been used on other occasions to try to discredit it.

« I understand that, when you are the fifth political party that has lost the elections, and you have four cats, but they need them the second party that has lost the elections (PSOE) to pass in number of members to the first party that has won the elections (PP), your legitimacy is much lower than if you had won the elections, » said the judge, in allusion, presumably, To the 2023 electionswhere the formation of Alberto Núñez Feijóo was the most voted while Sumar was fourth (and not fifth) position. At another time in the talk, he alluded to the judicial investigation open to Pedro Sánchez’s wife, Begoña Gómez.

The Disciplinary Authority of the CGPJ opened informative proceedings in December, but, after investigating the case, he concluded that the magistrate did not speak as a judge, but that his words are framed in his freedom of expression, so he proposed to file him. However, his decision should be valued by the Permanent Commission, which has the last word to ratify Count’s proposal or, as has finally happened, reject it and force him to continue investigating.

ORGAN SOURCES point out that Count’s proposal to archive the investigation is based on a ruling of the 2006 Supreme Court that exempt a magistrate who called the then president of the Government, José María Aznar. According to the Supreme Court, although the words pronounced by the judge were clearly inappropriate, they were not sufficient reason to open a disciplinary file, since they pronounced themselves outside the jurisdictional exercise and were protected by freedom of expression.

Regarding Judge Carlos del Valle, head of the Court of Instruction 38 of Madrid, the investigation was based on statements made by the magistrate during an interrogation to Quequé, tol that the Christian lawyers denounced for the comedian’s comments in a program issued in June last year. Then, De Miguel said: “Christian lawyers! All these people we are here we have a wish, which is to fill the cross of the Valley of the Fallen and fly it through the air. If it can be a Sunday, better, so that more people go. And then what we want to do – which this has been the idea of ​​them, Mr. Judge (apostilled pointing to the public) – is to take all the pieces that leave the cross of the Valley of the Valley of the Valley. You go to abortive clinics to harass the women who are going to abort, we will go with those pebbles to the gates of the churches and the monasteries to throw them to the priests who have fucked a child … that is, everyone.

Last March, De Miguel published a video with his appearance before the judge, which took place on January 23 in the Courts of Plaza de Castilla in Madrid, and commented with the listeners of the SER chain. As detailed by the humorist, the magistrate raised an analogy loaded with LGTbifobia. “Let’s see if it seems to you, even in a humor program, to be said: we will see if we fly the Plaza de Pedro Zerolo (in the Madrid neighborhood of Chueca, a referential place of the LGTBIQ+fight) and with the pebbles we reach one day, the day of pride, and we throw them to all those who are there, homosexuals that have abused children. That is, all homosexuals. What would seem to you in that situation? Then Valle said he didn’t want to compare Zerolo – a democrat, civil rights fighter – With the fascist dictator: « By the way, I have not compared Pedro Zerolo with the Cross of the Valley of the Fallen. »
