The President of the Constitutional Court defends the legitimacy of the body and the independence of its judges
The president of the Constitutional Court, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, defended this Friday the legitimacy of the guarantee body and requested the “maximum political and institutional respect to their decisions. This was stated during the inauguration of José María Macías as the new magistrate of the TC. Macías occupies the vacant seat on the court since the resignation of Alfredo Montoya.
In a brief speech, Conde-Pumpido, who celebrated the recent renewal of the CGPJ and therefore the “new stage of democratic normality in the field of justice”, defended the independence of the Court he presides over and its magistrates and, paraphrasing the speech of the first president of the TC, Manuel García Pelayo, in the constitutive act of this institution, stressed that “we must all to renounce the temptation to make the Court a political organ“.
As the first appeals against the amnesty approach, Conde-Pumpido insisted that the court’s judges have “the necessary tools to impose our impartiality without bias: legal arguments, nothing more, nothing less.” He also expressed the court’s commitment to “continue working and advancing in our mission, always based on reason and the Constitution.”
