Thousands of judicial workers have protested outside their working premises all over Spain. They protest against the latest measures that the Ministry of Justice is taking to dismantle the Public Service of Justice in favor of Professional Lobbies, by privatizing Civil Registries, or applying fees when ever going to court. In Madrid, around 100 people gathered outside the Spanish Supreme Court, some of them workers from courts and justice halls from small towns nearby, who struggle every day by overwork, lack of equipment, and inefficient software for communicating with other judicial premises. This situation, valid for all justice premises in Spain, also affects the economy.

The subject matter had been agreed for weeks but the meeting was all the more timely as it coincided with a wider debate on the issue of tax evasion which has been raging all week. After the daylong meeting the President of the European Council said concrete measures had been agreed and he said the measures have clear deadlines. There is a plan to force financial institutions to share information that could more easily lead to the detection of tax fraud. The European Commission President, however, was clearly less impressed with what had been agreed with respect to this particular matter. Jerome Hughes, Press TV, Brussels
