Dear Senator for Lanzarote:
In recent days I have witnessed with astonishment and perplexity your intervention in the Senate defending the Lexnet justice computer system.
I want to convey the absolute discontent of the legal professionals for the lack of respect shown by the Ministry of Justice towards our work, since since its implementation, Lexnet has not worked correctly. This has been the case during a continuous period, implying a considerable loss of time in our working days, something that amazes me that you are unaware of.
Even more perplexity is caused by the fact that you defend the system as a representative of the island of Lanzarote without first sitting down to talk or ask what we think of this matter to the Justice professionals. It would have been a detail of democratic spirit before such a 'great defense' of Lexnet to have met with the Illustrious Bar Association of Lanzarote or the Association of Solicitors.
It is especially serious to defend such an important issue in the Courts without sounding out the opinion of those of us who suffer day by day on the island - as in the whole country - the neglect of the current minister, who at this rate will make Gallardón look good, when we already thought that the worst thing that had happened to Spanish Justice was the court fees that were finally declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
Allow me to remind you that Lexnet was created in the socialist era with the idea of solving one of the biggest problems of our Justice system, its slowness. Its implementation did not take place until January 1, 2016, already with a government of the Popular Party that has more than demonstrated a disastrous management of this electronic communications system with the Administration of Justice.
I suppose you know that there are daily photographs as a complaint on social networks of courts full of paper files, as well as the already repetitive communications and complaints from the various legal operators, without forgetting the most serious incident in which contemporary Spanish Justice has found itself with the exposure and filtering of confidential data from proceedings and the lack of independence between powers.
I encourage you to, rather than defending the indefensible, in a constructive, contrasted and informed manner, seek solutions, for which you will always have the hand of the professionals in Lanzarote extended.
Receive a cordial greeting,
Tomás Silvera Cabrera, Secretary of Justice of PSOE Canarias
