Should judges be allowed to create political investigations?
Since 2008, the Spanish judicial system has been inundated with over 1,000 corruption cases targeting politicians, political parties and the royal family. Unlike most western countries, Judges, rather than prosecutors, take the lead in the investigations which have severely backlogged the legal system. Proponents argue that only a minority of the corruption cases have resulted in convictions and judges are pursuing high profile figures for their own political gain. Oppone

Yes, as long as the balance of power is maintained and judges do not misuse this power for personal gain

Yes, and give a rules and supervision to judges to prevent abuse of power for personal gain
@9F6DMD27mos7MO
Yes but with the Cops involved
@9CTGXS2Ciudadanos9mos9MO
No, unless there is evidence of crimes or illegal actions.

No, judges must be imparcial, so they can't create political investigations where they take the role of the judge
