Madrid, April 19 ( EFE ) .- The Ministry of Justice proposes to exclude clemency to convicted for corruption by law as well of those sentenced for abuse or pedophilia, a line of work in which the government is moving even be difficult to approve because this term.
In an interview with Efe, the justice minister, Rafael Catala, recognizes that the government is working on the reform of the law regulating the regulations which, for practical purposes, is already being done. not grant pardons for corruption and also exclude those crimes that occur more social rejection
The axes of what could be a reform of the law governing the measure of grace, which dates back to 1870, are transparency in the process of granting pardons and exclusion by law a series of crimes that it can not be applied, the minister said.
Justice wants “a rigorous and limited exercise” clemency, and open “doors and windows” is made for “society knows that pardons Government grants are not capricious. “
” Exclude pardon corruption offenses, tax offenses, offenses relating to pedophilia, abuse, crimes against road safety, such issues … those are the axes along which progress could be made, “he said.
The Government has already committed to report periodically on the exercise of the measure of grace (” even 1% of applications that arise are granted “notes) and do always favorable reports from the courts and prosecutors who have known cases.
” All those types of groups of matters to which I have referred are excluded absolutely our right of grace. So take a policy area which today already do in practice seems very natural to me, “he said.
But” the times of this term are virtually culminating “and there are” a problem of calendar, not a fundamental problem, “says Catala, recalling the commitment to regular attendance of Justice in Congress to report what is being done in terms of pardon.
Although the government wants reform The minister acknowledged that “there is no material time in this legislature to approve a law on pardon”. “A half of April we are, if we put in place a process for making a law does not arrive on time,” he adds, because it requires a minimum of three to four months for reports of GCJ , the Attorney General and the State Council.
The Minister of Justice considered “legitimate” election candidates choose not to bring defendants in the lists, before the “hypersensitivity exists towards corruption” although it has also described as “excessive and unjustified” because “just how many complaints and grievances being filed.”
Catala also opens the door to amend the Criminal Procedure Act in parliamentary procedure, so that the ex officio judge can extend instruction in simple cases and that this function is not exclusive of the Office.
“It is not good or that one has the exclusive, nor that has the other,” says what, in your opinion, should be “a system of collaboration between judge and prosecutor.”
In this regard, notes that the change in the model of instruction to be the prosecutor and not the judge to instruct the cause “is a very complex issue,” but that will have to be addressed in the next legislature. “Most of the doctrine is very close to that scheme and virtually every country in Europe that’s the model,” he recalls.
Catala uses the example of the prosecutor investigating the crash of Germanwings who offered two days a press conference to unveil the details of the incident to prove “that an instructor Attorney equipped with the means and functions is a system that works very effectively.”
Also ensures that anyone who saw a political maneuver at the output of Judge Pablo Ruz of the National Court is wrong, as demonstrated by the impact they had their cars, which have affected the former Minister of Health and the PP on “consideration of he may have committed a tax offense. “
” If after all that, the judge has issued in the exercise of their functions, one could consider that the Government has had some ability to influence, I think it is absolutely political fiction “he says.
Also stresses that Ruz had” all the support you could ask “the Government, and has” all the recognition of work and dedication work in clarifying offenses are very complex. “
