Manuel Marchena honored by legal professionals in Las Palmas

Judge Manuel Marchena was honored by the lawyers and procurators of Las Palmas during a ceremony on Friday. Marchena, known for his role in the Supreme Court and presiding over the Catalan independence trial, received the gold medal from the Bar Association and was named honorary dean.

During his speech, Marchena called for judicial independence and warned against political interference. He stated that the pardon process is becoming a fourth instance where political power can correct or annul sentences that do not meet political expectations.

The event also included the swearing-in of 43 new professionals and recognition for several legal practitioners for their years of service. Additionally, Francisco Beltrán Sierra was honored for 50 years of professional practice, and the UP2U Project Depende de ti association received a solidarity award.
