The disciplinary Committee of the Judges’ Federation CGPJ is now expected to fully examine the case of Laura Alabau, the Denia Judge who was amongst the first in Spain to refuse to perform gay marriages. The charges against Mrs Alabau are ‘Serious’ – for having publicly criticised the Madrid Government, and ‘Light’ - for arguing with the local prosecutor. In a letter to the Superior Court, Mrs Alabau wrote that she was ‘undergoing a persecution led by the Propaganda department of the Socialist government’. The judge is now expected to make an appearance before an examination committee that will issue their findings probably before the end of the year.Author: Valencia Life
