Galician Judges Moved Amidst Wind Farm Controversy

El País

Four judges from the Galician High Court (TSXG) were forcibly relocated by the new president of its Administrative Chamber, Maria Azucena Recio. The move, justified as ‘organizational reasons,’ is being heavily criticized by the Judges and Lawyers for Democracy association, who claim it violates judicial independence and is driven by pressure from the wind energy lobby. These judges previously blocked numerous wind farm projects, sparking conflict with the regional government and business interests.
