In a historic move, Isabel Perelló has been appointed as the first female president of Spain's General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and the Supreme Court.

Her appointment marks a significant milestone, breaking a glass ceiling that has existed since the establishment of the Supreme Court in 1812. Perelló, known for her progressive stance, was elected with a strong majority of 16 votes.

The appointment was celebrated by the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, who highlighted the achievement of consensus in her selection.

The inauguration ceremony was presided over by King Felipe VI, with several ministers and opposition leaders in attendance.

Perelló's leadership is expected to foster collaboration between the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, signaling a new era in Spain's judicial landscape.
