"We are not concerned about changing or improving the guarantees of impartiality of the institution, the prosecutors or the Attorney General," García stated.
The State Attorney General, Álvaro García, has urged the legislator to reform the Criminal Procedure Law so that prosecutors assume direction of the investigation . “Forty years after the legislator defined the model proposed by the Constitution for the configuration of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Spain, the Prosecutor's Office is open to changes and to assume challenges and responsibilities. We are not concerned about changing or improving the guarantees of impartiality of the institution, of the prosecutors or of the Attorney General,” García stated during his speech at the opening ceremony of the judicial year.
Framed within “a substantial reform of justice”, the change in the procedural model demanded by prosecutors would make us equal to the vast majority of countries around Fax Lists us. It is “a model with which we have been working effectively in the juvenile jurisdiction, demonstrating our capacity for more than 20 years. A model, furthermore, already in force in Spain in crimes under the jurisdiction of the European Public Prosecutor's Office .
García has pointed out that the LECRIM has been reformed more than 50 times since the promulgation of the Constitution. But “the progressive increase in litigation, the excessive delay of the criminal response or the proliferation of more organized, complex and sophisticated crime (…) make a structural reform of our criminal justice system definitively necessary. And this is essential to provide it with greater agility and effectiveness,” he insisted.
Leadership of the criminal investigation is claimed by all prosecutorial associations and there are those in the prosecutor's office who point out that the current model is an obsolete model typical of the inquisition. Sources from the Public Prosecutor's Office say they hope that, after several failed attempts, the reform will finally be carried out in the next legislature .
Furthermore, in h speech, the State Attorney General stated that the attacks on his figure should not infect his own career. “The action of the Prosecutor's Office, debatable and criticizable, as is normal and natural in democracy, is subject to filters and controls, to balances in decision-making,” he said. “ Hierarchical dependency should only be at the service of the unit of action,” he added.
