Manuel García-Mansilla was appointed as a member of the Supreme Court, and his tenure in that position could end this week. The possibility of having a compliant Court while in power, including figures like Cascini, Chelo Delgado, or Chicho Serna as ministers, generates controversy.
The appointment process has been criticized for bypassing the Senate to appoint a court judge, raising controversy. Some argue that the election of judges is becoming more aligned with voter desires than with legislative agreement, raising questions about the legitimacy of these appointments.
The rejection of García-Mansilla by some sectors has been evident, generating debates about his suitability for the position. It is questioned whether continuing as a candidate for the Court is the best course of action.
Within the Government, his appointment has been seen as a betrayal by some, while others criticize his debut for voting against the entry of his colleague Lijo. This situation has generated tensions and uncertainty regarding institutional decisions and the balance of power.
The Senate could reject García-Mansilla's appointment this week, despite having sworn him in and confirmed him as a minister. The uncertainty and lack of consensus surrounding these appointments have created an institutional and legal uproar. The influence of various political actors in this process has also been a subject of debate.
