Inés Herreros

Inés Herreros is a vocal within the Consejo General del Poder Judicial (CGPJ), the General Council of the Judiciary in Spain. She was proposed for the position by Sumar, a political party. Herreros is currently newsworthy due to her opposition to a recent decision made by the CGPJ regarding the application of occupational risk prevention laws to judges and magistrates. In a rare alliance, a majority of both progressive and conservative members of the CGPJ voted to exclude judges from this law. Herreros, along with fellow Sumar-proposed vocal Carlos Hugo Preciado, dissented, arguing that this exclusion represents a step backward. This stance highlights a division within the CGPJ and positions Herreros as a dissenting voice advocating for the inclusion of judges under standard occupational safety regulations. Her opposition is significant as it underscores concerns about the working conditions and well-being of judges, who reportedly face increasing workloads and resource limitations.
