19/01/2009 The Spanish General Council of Lawyers is preparing a report on the state of Justice in Spain in which, among other things, specific proposals will be raise regarding the largest deficits, as it was explained last Friday by its president, Carlos Carnicer in Teruel , who reiterated his opposition to the strike of the judges.
Carnicer told reporters that for the report, which will include a survey of opinion on how the reality of justice is perceived in Spain, he will include the opinion of Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, procurators, Justice clerks and government, among others.
The president of the lawyers, who did not believe that the strike is a way to solve problems, recalled that judges are a power of the State and can not strike, but invited the judicial organizations , along with other groups as lawyers, to press political parties to solve the problems of the administration of justice.
Spanish lawyers have been claiming for over thirty years regarding the deficiencies in the administration of justice, without any success, because "so far it does not remove or give votes," said Carnicer, who recalled that in 1991, a number of 2500 Judges more were requested and that we need more judges now.
Carnicer presided Friday at the hall of the Museum of Teruel, the inauguration of the new dean of the Bar of Teruel, Manuel Gomez Palmeiro, who replaces Lucia Solanas.
Gomez Palmeiro, who in his speech expressed support for the judges in their demands, said to the media that there is a saturation in the Courts of First Instance and the launching of the Court 3 will alleviate this situation.
In his view, the increase in population and complexity of economic and social reality are factors which have led to the increase of cases in Courts.
Any suggestion for the President?
