Euskaraz irakurri: Akordiorik ez Justizia Ministerioaren eta greban dauden abokatuen artean, 15 orduz bilduta egon osteon
The meeting between the representatives of the Ministry of Justice and the strike committee of the Lawyers of the Administration of Justice (LAJ)which began an indefinite strike on January 24, has ended after 15 hours of meeting without reaching an agreement when the strike committee left the negotiating table.
The parts they reproach each other for a lack of will to negotiate. The department headed by Minister Pilar Llop has indicated that the meeting ended at 08:15 a.m. after 3 p.m. without any agreement and without the LAJ having called off the strike that has caused since its inception three weeks ago the cancellation of more than 100,000 views and judgments.
The Ministry of Justice has regretted that the lawyers of the Administration of Justice have risen from the negotiating table “after raising their demands with respect to those initially raised and without raising any other alternative.”
For their part, the members of the strike committee of the Lawyers of the Administration of Justice (LAJ), have assured, in a statement issued early this Friday, that “by the Secretary of State and the Ministry team A concrete offer has been made to the members of the strike committee beyond ‘studying’ the population groups, limiting itself to repeatedly requesting immediate withdrawal without any concrete commitment”. According to the convening associations, the members of the committee have been “at a table in front of the representatives of the Ministry without exchanging a word” for fourteen hours.
The Secretary of State for Justice, Tontxu RodrÃguez, who was at the meeting, described the attitude of the lawyers as “contrary to any negotiating logic” and lamented the “closeness” of the group to “start a real negotiation, after almost four weeks of strike in which the main victims are the citizens”.
“When one sits at a negotiating table, one must start from the demands initially raised and be willing to make some concession; the only proposal made tonight by the lawyers of the Administration of Justice shows a clear lack of will to reach any type of agreement”, RodrÃguez denounced.
The new proposal presented by the lawyers of the Administration of Justice insists on maintaining the down payment clausewhich would mean referencing the amount of their remuneration to that of judges and magistrates.
The new requirement means that, in addition to each lawyer, individually, receiving 85 percent of what the judges of their respective judicial bodies receive, the total salary of the LAJ will also be referenced to the salary of the career court, which in practice would mean a double down payment clause, that is, a double salary increase.
The ministry has proposed to the strike committee to study a salary improvement, based on the population groups in the destinations of the lawyers, which would especially benefit lawyers with lower salaries, an issue that the negotiators have rejected.
Both the strike committee and Justice have called press conferences to explain their positions.
