Former Justice Minister Ana Birchall plans to sue the Judicial Section of the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) to annul her inclusion on a so-called 'black list'. She argues that this decision violates her constitutional rights, including freedom of expression and the right to protest. Birchall criticized a judicial appointment she deemed inappropriate and participated in protests against it. She claims the CSM's decision has severely harmed her rights and reputation, and she was not allowed to present her case during the council's deliberations. Birchall emphasizes that judges are not above the law and that judicial independence does not equate to a lack of accountability.
