The senator for Fuerteventura, Paloma Hernández, and the senator for Lanzarote and La Graciosa, Manuel Fajardo, have held several meetings, at different levels, to publicize the situation of the judicial sector in these islands, with the aim of finding solutions to the most pressing problems for the island's administration of justice.
On the one hand, the senators held a meeting with the president of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands, Juan Luis Lorenzo Bragado, to detail the demands of the groups in each island, in terms of improvement and expansion of the judicial bodies.
Manuel Fajardo conveyed the demand for the creation of a juvenile court on the island of Lanzarote, and also the creation of an Administrative Litigation court. In the latter case, until then, he highlighted the importance of temporarily moving the six Administrative Litigation courts based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to the Island to hold trials on this matter.
For her part, Senator Paloma Hernández stressed the need to change the category of the judicial district of the island of Fuerteventura, and that the positions of its courts be filled by magistrates, thus leading to the separation of civil and criminal jurisdictions.
This fact would facilitate the creation of a new criminal court for the island of Fuerteventura, the second, which in this way, together with the other criminal court and the two social courts, would belong to the Judicial District of Fuerteventura, and would not depend on Lanzarote.
Likewise, both senators, members of the Socialist Territorial Group of the Canary Islands in the Senate, also held a meeting with the Senior Prosecutor of the Autonomous Community, Luis Del Río, to whom they also conveyed these proposals.
