Motion by which the Senate underscores the paramount importance of the principle of separation of powers, as well as the political independence and neutrality of constitutional bodies, and urges the Government to put an end to interference in the independence of the Judiciary and to refer to the Cortes Generales a draft organic law for the reform of the Organic Law of the Judiciary, by which judges and magistrates directly elect their representatives in the General Council of the Judiciary.

Where does all this come from?

Official wording of what was voted on: Moción por la que el Senado subraya la capital importancia del principio de separación de poderes, así como de la independencia y neutralidad política de los órganos constitucionales, e insta al Gobierno a poner fin a las interferencias en la independencia del Poder Judicial y a remitir a las Cortes Generales un proyecto de ley orgánica de reforma de la Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial, por el cual los jueces y magistrados elijan directamente a sus representantes en el Consejo General del Poder Judicial.

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
