Overview

• Secretary of State Manuel Olmedo sent a letter to five judicial and prosecutorial associations demanding a verified roster of participants to facilitate salary deductions
• Ministry data shows just 29 officials communicated their strike involvement, accounting for 0.01% of judges and 0.87% of prosecutors
• Salary will be docked only for those who have officially notified participation unless associations submit their own authorized lists
• Spanish law does not clearly regulate judges’ and prosecutors’ right to strike, leaving notification rules and service-minimum arrangements to the convoking bodies
• Associations have dismissed the ministry’s figures and signaled plans for further legal challenges and possible renewed strike action
