With each proposal that Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba launches, Pere Navarro appears before the media with a high-sounding statement that monopolizes all the headlines. It is “ systematic ”, say sources close to the general secretary of the PSOE. And in Ferraz they have realized that it is, they denounce, a maneuver orchestrated and deliberate by Pere Navarro. This is what has happened in recent cases: -- Rubalcaba announces a tax for the rich . Pere Navarro publicly defends the right to decide. -- Rubalcaba leads to an agreement with Mariano Rajoy . Pere Navarro declares himself in favor of reviewing the Basque and Navarrese quotas. He wants to put an end to him and place a person close to him at the head of the PSC, explain the socialist sources consulted by El Confidencial Digital . The general secretary of the PSOE is counting on an ally to put an end to Navarro: Patxi López . The general secretary of the PSC, explain the sources to which ECD has had access , is also in charge of taking over from Terrasa. One of the possible options would be to support a candidacy of former Minister of Labor Celestino Corbacho . As of today, he is 'apart' in the Senate , but Rubalcaba would not take kindly to his former colleague on the Council of Ministers taking over the reins of the PSC.
Faced with the imminence of his dismissal, Pascual Sala had dedicated himself during this last season to trying to solve the existing logjam, by moving forward with the greatest possible number of pending matters in the court, by the system of asking the magistrates if there was some problem on each issue. When there was not one, he forced the procedures to bring those issues to a full conclusion and approve them. In fact, in recent Special Database times, a good number of issues have had free rein, with very intense TC plenary sessions because they had up to twenty points on the agenda. Those who presented resistance of any kind were left to be resolved by the new Constitutional Court following the last renewal. Coinciding with the Rubalcaba threat The president broke this rule with an issue pending for more than eleven years: the appeal presented in 2002 against the University Planning Law promoted by the Aznar Government, which included the possibility of the Church creating universities without the need to approve them. a law, a point that is expressly recognized in the current Spain-Holy See Agreements . Coinciding in time with the threat of the leader of the PSOE, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba , to denounce these Agreements if the Rajoy Government approved the reforms of the Education Law and the Abortion Law, Judge Luis Ortega proposed ruling on that appeal, to a law repealed in 2007, precisely by the Zapatero Government.
The resource was related, among other things, to the creation of the Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM). Against his opinion, on this occasion Pascual Sala chose to enter into the matter and take it to the plenary session , despite the fact that six judges of the TC had announced that they would vote against the approval of the appeal and were in the majority. An unusual quality vote Breaking another of his rules, recognized by himself, Sala voted with the five magistrates in favor of unconstitutionality , compared to the six who were opposed, which 'tied' the result and then tilted it in his favor due to the casting vote. of the president. Colloquially put, he voted twice . As El Confidencial Digital has learned , Pascual Sala himself tried to justify himself before the rest of the members of the court by stating that in 52 years of institutional practice he had never used the casting vote, “ but now you have forced me .” He did not clarify exactly whether those who obliged him were the five magistrates who supported the unconstitutionality of the Church's ability to create universities. The six justices who lost the vote have announced private votes . This “ blow to Catholic university education ”, as some media focused on it, and against the Spain-Holy See Agreements, does not affect the centers already created, such as the Catholic universities of Santa Teresa de Jesús (Ávila), San Antonio (Murcia ) and San Vicente Mártir (Valencia), but would only be applicable for the future. It must be remembered that the creation and authorization of universities is a competence transferred to the autonomous communities, which are the ones that approve it.
