Madrid (EFE) Justice, surrounded by protests.
When possible measures are still being studied to alleviate the traffic jam caused in the courts by the strike by the lawyers of the administration of Justice, which lasted for two months and forced the suspension of more than 360,000 trials, judges and prosecutors have made public their calendar of mobilizations.
It is supported by the Professional Association of the Magistracy, the Francisco de Vitoria, the Independent Judicial Forum, the Association of Prosecutors and the Professional and Independent Association of Prosecutors.
The progressive Judges and Judges for Democracy and the Progressive Union of Prosecutors share their diagnosis, but prefer to wait to see what the Treasury and Justice propose next May 3, when a Compensation Table is convened.
According to a statement, they all agree to work for an agreement that avoids implementing the pressure measures announced and that involves increasing their salaries.
Third strike of judges and prosecutors
Judges and prosecutors fear that Justice and the Treasury will once again maintain a “purely delaying attitude” at the remuneration table meeting.
“If they really want to prevent this from happening, they have more than enough margin, but if their intention is to fool us again, then they already know what the consequences they will face will be,” stressed the spokesman for the Francisco de Vitoria, Jorge Fernández Vaquero, in statements sent to the media.
It would be the third time that judges and prosecutors stop to demand labor improvements, after the two strikes they called in 2018, first with Rafael Catalá at the head of the Ministry and, after the change of Government, with Dolores Delgado as head of Justice.
Now it is the turn of Pilar Llop, who resolved the strike called by the lawyers of the Justice administration with a gross salary increase of between 430 and 450 euros and who is now facing the mobilizations that the court officials have maintained for years. a week to achieve a salary increase and the paralysis of the parliamentary process of the Organic Law of Organizational Efficiency (LOEO).
After a second unsuccessful meeting this Monday with Justice, without an economic offer on the table, the unions calling the strike, CSIF, CCOO, STAJ and UGT, will toughen their pressure measures and have already announced a day of 24-hour strike and a rally in front of the Ministry.
Meanwhile, they will maintain their daily strikes between ten in the morning and one in the afternoon, which in the first week have caused the stoppage of more than four million files and the suspension of tens of thousands of trials, according to the strike committee. .
Disparate figures in the monitoring of strikes
The follow-up of the strikes is around 85 or 90% daily, according to the unions, while the Ministry speaks of between 15 and 20% every day in the autonomous communities that have not transferred the jurisdiction of Justice: Murcia, Extremadura , Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.
On the other hand, the legal associations are also demanding a rise in their fees and will start their mobilizations with a rally this Thursday in front of Congress.
In this context, Llop has asked this noon from the Seville Fair to judges and prosecutors to look “for the good public service of Justice” and to be “honest when it comes to presenting their positions”, and has promised to dialogue with associations.
The minister has admitted that the administration of Justice has an “obsolete” model and a “very deficient organization”, and has advocated its transformation towards a “much more agile, efficient, sustainable and egalitarian system, with a modern justice of the 21st century digitized”.
For this reason, he said, the Government is looking for “an efficient system that results not only in a quality public service, but also in measures for the workers themselves, with conciliation measures, teleworking, being able to hold remote hearings and trials and make them compatible with their own lives.”
