The intervention of Minister Gabriela Bravo, in the presence of Justice Minister Pilar Llop, to initiate a dialogue that allows the resolution of the dispute that has kept the Justice Department lawyers on indefinite strike for a month, which has resulted in this public service disruption.
What caused this protest was the request sent by this group of bodies in Alicante to the autonomous Head of Justice, who was asked to convey to the minister his concern about the “enormous harm done to citizens, professionals and the Community”. This effectively paralyzes the judicial organs.
The organizers of the meeting between the ministry and the strike committee, which gathered at the gates of the second meeting scheduled for this Friday morning, fear that it will only address the expansion of minimum services and do not understand the “indifference to the establishment of the ministry”. a dialogue in which an agreement can be reached to end the conflict”.
The strikers are demanding that Justice abide by the wage improvements agreed a year ago with this institution, in line with its new powers.
Llop yesterday urged the collective to leave behind “maximalist positions” that allowed a strike to be called off that had “caused a lot of damage.” Among these positions, the Minister includes the so-called down payment requirement, which would allow his salary to be referenced to that of judges and prosecutors, so that lawyers never charge less than 85% in relation to these two legal operators, ” who do not have the support of judicial associations or other political forces a necessity,” he said.
He added that since the day he came to the ministry, many requests of former court clerks such as reorganization of service commissions and calls for transfer competitions have been met.
Meanwhile, Congress urged the minister yesterday to agree on salary improvements requested by the LAJ; This is a point that failed to get the votes of the two governing parties.
It’s a motion derived from a question posed to the minister last week, and the PP has on many points the support of Vox and Ciudadanos, as well as the majority of the Executive’s allies in parliament.
According to data from call associations, the resolution is passed when the strike causes 210,000 views across the country (about 6,000 in Alicante) to be suspended and 4,000 million euros (more than three statewide) blocked.
The approved text calls on the Government to “immediately resolve its workers’ dispute with the LAJ, compensate for the delay in procedural proceedings caused by this dispute, and that this does not amount to an increase in the workload of other professionals”. “Justice.”
Benidorm legal lawyers, on the other hand, considered the minimum 30% service shift to be “excessive”, and filed a complaint with the Ombudsman for not negotiating and violating the right to strike, on the grounds that “no assumption was considered so sensitively”. payment of pensions”.
