Judges and unions confirm that the procedural management system 'Atlante' remains inoperative this Monday, accumulating five days of blockages that prevent the signing of resolutions and paralyse judicial activity in the Canary Islands.
The computer system 'Atlante', which manages the Canary Islands courts, continues this Monday, July 13, in a state of total collapse, now adding five consecutive days of failures that have halted judicial activity in the Archipelago. This has been reported by both the Francisco de Vitoria Judicial Association (AJFV) and Intersindical Canarias, who warn of the impossibility of carrying out essential procedures such as the electronic signing of resolutions.
Judges unable to sign resolutions
The spokesperson for the AJFV in the Canary Islands, magistrate Adalberto de La Cruz, has expressed his "absolute and firm support" for the agreement adopted last Friday by the Governing Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC), which raised a formal complaint to the regional government due to the repeated incidents of the Atlante system. "Today, the situation of computer collapse persists. The system remains inoperative, accumulating five consecutive days of extreme slowdowns and blockages that hinder daily work in the judicial bodies of the Archipelago," he stated.
According to the judicial association, it is "unacceptable" that judges cannot carry out such an essential procedure as the electronic signing of procedural resolutions. "This technical anomaly translates into a material and absolute paralysis of public service," they have reported. The AJFV has emphasised that the inability to process urgent and unavoidable actions "places justice in the Canary Islands in a situation of extreme seriousness, seriously jeopardising the protection of fundamental rights and directly violating the constitutional right to effective judicial protection."
Intersindical Canarias supports the complaint
Workers in the courts, represented by Intersindical Canarias, have also denounced the situation. Their spokesperson, David Ortuño, explained that although yesterday the Atlante system started functioning with apparent normality, it soon returned to a minimal state. "The failures are constant and no definitive solution is in sight," he lamented.
The Justice Department of the Government of the Canary Islands has acknowledged the problems and claims to be working to resolve them, but so far only temporary patches have been proposed that have not managed to stabilise the system. Meanwhile, the Canary Islands courts remain paralysed, directly affecting citizens who are awaiting judicial resolutions, summonses or any urgent procedures.
A recurring problem that demands structural solutions
This is not the first time the Atlante system has caused delays and blockages in Canary Islands justice. In recent months, several similar incidents have been recorded, although none as prolonged as the current one. Judges have demanded that the regional government immediately implement a technical contingency plan, comprehensive and definitive, to put an end to the structural deficiencies of the system once and for all.
For the average citizen, this situation translates into delays in judicial proceedings, the inability to submit documents or check the status of their cases, and a feeling of abandonment of the public justice service. While the department does not offer a real solution, the Canary Islands courts will continue to operate at half capacity, with the consequent detriment to all involved.
