The Head of Government assured that he would never interfere in the judiciary
Xavier Espot opposes a BPA amnesty law. The Escaldian explained to the Cierco brothers that neither legally nor politically is an amnesty law or an end point law or any other proposal they formulate that interferes with the judiciary. The Head of Government indicated that the executive has the power to present bills, but that he will never make one to override the judicial power with which the separation must be maintained. Adding that it is one of the pillars of democracy.
The Cierco brothers announced that they would meet with parliamentary groups to present the amnesty proposal for everything related to BPA. Espot replied that they have every right to contact the groups and present their project. In any case, the Government would never support an initiative of this type, in line with all the reports of the legal services.
Contrary to presenting tailor-made laws
The Head of Government made it clear to the ex-owners of BPA that it is basically a legal issue that is inapplicable under the legal system. Espot assured them that he will always stick to the strictest legality without interfering with the other two powers of the State. Concluding that a tailor-made law to amnesty a number of people who were in charge or were employees of a particular bank is not possible. Espot opposes a BPA amnesty law.
The person in charge of carrying out the negotiation, according to multiple sources, is the lawyer Xavier Jordana . The objective is to obtain the support of the government and a parliamentary majority, where it is essential to have the groups that support the executive. It is about drafting and approving a law that amnesties all the actions and the people who participated in the cases where the Justice is already investigating, has processed or judged in relation to the practices at the Cierco bank.
