Juana Rivas, the woman who remains untraceable since three weeks ago she failed to comply with the order to deliver her children to the father, will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to request protection for minors after denying her constitutional protection, which closes national jurisdiction. This was announced today by the lawyer of this Maracena (Granada) neighbor, MarÃa Castillo, and the director of the Women’s Center of this town and her advisor, Francisca Granados, who have regretted the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which today has denied This mother’s petition for protection is “untimely.” As they have pointed out, as the national jurisdiction is thus closed, they will go to the European Court of Human Rights to request protection for Juana Rivas and her children after the “blow” they received today, despite to which they have stressed that they respect the Constitutional ruling. After acknowledging that they are “tremendously sad, for the children of Juana Rivas and for Juana Rivas,” they have co nfied also in the three-day period that the Prosecutor’s Office of the Constitutional Court (TC) has to file an appeal that, for them, would “safeguard” the rights of the two children, ages 3 and 11. Castillo has considered that the ruling of the TC is “incongruous” and has recalled that on July 31, when he also denied protection to Juana Rivas, he said to do so because an ordinary route was still open, that of the Hearing of Granada because the sentence handed down on last July 21 April, which forced him to return the children, was not yet firm.He has pointed out that if that sentence was not final, for which the also rejected exceptional incident of nullity could be presented in the provincial court, the TC cannot now say that it does not study the merits of the case and argue that it is “untimely.” Castillo has insisted that the sentence has been final since August 9 and that therefore the thirty days of the term established by the TC for the amparo appeal have not elapsed. He has insisted that, in 16 days, the TC has given « two causes “for not admitting the petition for amparo, has interpreted that both resolutions” are incompatible “and has stated that today’s reasoning could have been used in July. formal requirement, they have not entered the merits “, has lamented the lawyer of Juana Rivas, who has regretted that the TC has declined to assess the violations that they understand have occurred” in the first and second instance “in this procedure of theft of minors. «Where is what the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Minors says, the norm that says that the interest of minors will be above any other criteria or procedure? Where are they? “Asked Granados, who reiterated that the important thing is the two children of the ex-partner because both Rivas and Francesco Arcuri can look after their interests. He has interpreted that the current situation reflects” that something is wrong, that something very deep in the system is failing “, and has announced that now it will be Juana Rivas who will decide” what she is going to do, how she is going to continue protecting her two children. “They have announced that they will continue to support this mother” within the framework of legality “and that they will seek” all the means that make possible the defense of those rights that we continue to claim are violated “, so they will go to” other instances “to achieve the” protection that we have not received from the Spanish system “
