Ms. @vonderleyen: yesterday in #Spain The government of @sanchezcastejon announces a real assault on the Judiciary, in order to abolish the three-fifths majority in the General Council of the Judiciary to elect the magistrates of the Constitutional Court, ⬇️
reforming a rule in force since 1985.This is a blatant way of violating judicial independence to subject that Court to government control, changing the qualified majority that was necessary for its renewal, simply because the government does not have that majority. ⬇️
It is a ROBBERY of democracy, which is based on the separation of powers.
It is very serious that this happens in a country of the European Union and that the @EU_Commission does nothing, simply because @sanchezcastejon is a like-minded politician, ⬇️

while @EU_Commission undertakes a persecution against the conservative governments of Poland and Hungary for purely ideological reasons.
If you, @vonderleyen are not willing to allow Spain to become a replica of Venezuela so you don't lose the support of your socialist allies ⬇️

in the European Parliament, then what you have to do, @vonderleyen, is resign and make way for a more capable person who is not willing to subordinate the rule of law to her personal interests.
