Juan Luis Ibarra has resigned as chairman of the Ertzaintza control committee
Ibarra was president of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country and was appointed by the Basque Government at the end of December 2021 as chairman of the Ertzaintza control committee.
The chairman of the Basque Country Police Control and Transparency Commission, Juan Luis Ibarra, has resigned from office since he was appointed by the Basque Government four years ago. This was announced on Tuesday by the Governing Council, whose new composition was approved today.
The Control and Transparency Commission was established in 2020 and analyses, either ex officio or at the request of a party, any conduct or practice that may constitute a violation of rights within the Ertzaintza or the Basque Country Municipal Police.
Ibarra presided over the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country and was appointed by the Basque Government in late 2021 to replace Judge Joaquin Giménez.
At their last appearance in the Basque Parliament last November, Ibarra and the member of the committee, Mira Ortubay, denounced the difficulties of access to police documentation and the lack of means to carry out their work, and regretted that there was no official way of finding out whether the members of the police were implementing the recommendations made by the committee.
