Ramón Múgica and Javier Larena, law professors at the University of Deusto were invited to the ETB programme “Sin ir más lejos”, moderated by Klaudio Landa on 18 and 26 June to give their views on the high speed immunity granted to King Juan Carlos.
The two legal experts explained what the immunity consists of and what the process entails.
They also analysed the reasons why Spain has such a high number of people with legal immunity, some 10,000 among politicians and members of the judicial system. Spain is the EU member with the highest number of individuals with legal immunity. Múgica and Larena analysed the causes of this.
At the end of his talk, Prof. Larena, PhD in Procedural Law, cleared up some of the doubts posed by participants on the programme about Judge Castro's recent accusations against the King's daughter, Cristina.
Ramón Múgica, expert in Administrative Law, also spoke on this subject on the programme broadcast on 25 June.
Javier Larena wrote an article using simple clear language in the newspaper El Pais giving his opinion of the legal immunity and charges against the royal family in an article entitled "De aforamientos e imputaciones" which was published on 28 June. See the full text here
