Logroño, (EFE).- Justice officials from several autonomous communities, gathered this Friday in Logroño, have addressed the EU Justice Commissioner, Didier Reynders, to tell him that in Spain “we have an absent and unworthy Government and a Minister (of Justice)” with the 45,000 public employees in this sector.
This was expressed by fifty public employees of Justice, summoned by the UGT, CCOO, CSIF and the Union of Workers of the Administration of Justice (STAJ) before the Palacio de Congresos de Logroño, where an informal meeting of the EU Justice Ministers was held this Friday, attended by the Commissioner and the Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop.
Under a large banner displayed on the ground with the slogan “Justice blocked and the government does nothing”, the protesters, joined by members of USO and STAR, have chanted protest cries such as “Europe listens, Justice is fighting” and “this is the Justice that the minister wants”.
The president of Justice of CSIF, Javier Jordán, in statements to journalists, has assured that in this concentration he wants to transmit to the commissioner and the EU Justice ministers that “they know what the Spanish Government and its minister are doing”, with the 45,000 Justice officials in Spain, who are demanding labor and salary improvements.
The EU Commissioner for Justice, Jordán said, “has the responsibility that European citizens receive public rights and can exercise their fundamental rights under equal conditions, which is not happening here (in Spain).
“They have tried to impose a reform of the Justice without negotiation” and “it is failing, flagrantly”, what the community funds establish in this regard, he said.
