On Wednesday, February 18th, more than 30 Spanish provinces were represented by judges who went on a one day strike - due to the lack of judges, and the excess of work faced by the current judges, according to an article.
The judges were led by 21 local judges assemblies, and the AJFV, Francisco de Victoria Association and FJI, Independent Judicial Forum. What exactly are these judges so upset about? Adoption of electronic technology, which primarily controls the excess workload for Spain's estimated 4500 judges. The country's Minister of Justice, Mariano Fernandez Bermejo, responded with an offer to discuss the issues at hand, but will also be administering a law which limits the ways in which they may assert their rights given their status in government - which the already challenging judges said they would fight.
