lpv:translated text	"Thank you for allowing me to speak, Mr President. The facts are blatantly clear: Mr Rodríguez Zapatero’s government has carried out a reform of the organic law on the judiciary, breaking the pre-existing pact on the judiciary, changing the rules half way through the mandate of the General Council of the Judiciary and preventing any judicial appointment from going ahead without the political green light from a blocking minority taking their orders from the government. Merits or qualifications making people suitable for a judicial post will no longer be relevant, but rather solely their affinity with a political minority. The situation is one of deadlock, and the Council’s task of filling vacancies for judges and magistrates has been paralysed. It is so scandalous that some distinguished candidates have given up their legitimate aspirations, ashamed of the horse-trading that the negotiations on appointments have become. On taking power in the 1980s, the Socialists emphatically proclaimed ‘Montesquieu is dead’."@en1
