According to the General Union of Workers, the State lawyer within the General Subdirectorate of Constitutional and Human Rights of the General Attorney of the State, current one refusal in opposition to one of many members of the Committee, the Spanish Carmen Salcedoquestioning her impartiality for an article she had revealed 4 months earlier than being appointed to that place in {a magazine} specialised in labor legislation.
