The Community of Madrid wants to revive the draft of the City of Justice. The regional Government plans to move the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) of the building known as ‘the doughnut’ in the fall, enabling the same to be able to “develop autopsies in chambers vacuum” before a possible renewed outbreak of coronavirus. The minister of Interior and Justice of the Community of Madrid, Enrique Lopez, suggests that the implementation of the new IML would the five million of investmentbut says that it is not more than the first step of a more ambitious scheme. “The idea is to bring all the infrastructure-real estate of the judicial district of Madrid City of Justice: the high Court of Justice, the Provincial court and all the courts”, explains this journal.
The project Esperanza Aguirre to relocate in a single complex at the courts of Madrid came down with the crisis. In 2004, it was announced that he was going to have 15 buildings, and the investment has reached more than 100 million euros, but only came to get out the donut, which cost 22, and remains in disuse. In September of 2019, a month after taking office as minister of Justice, López announced that it would seek to restart the project and transfer the order to the Institute of Legal Medicine, for which they have already set a timetable: “We intend to make in the summer, the new project of execution. The works will last four months and, if the deadlines are met, would allow us to put it into operation in the autumn“.

On march 3, the Supreme court struck down a definitive plan of Acciona and OHL to take over the City of the Justice, leaving so via free to the Community of Madrid. The struggle in the courts dates back to the last attempt to resuscitate the project in 2015, when Ignacio Gonzalez what were auctioned, time trials and was chosen as the winning alliance formed by Acciona and OHL, a contract which ended up being investigated by the Guardia Civil. The agreement was never endorsed with the rubric final award and, when you arrive Cristina Cifuentes to the presidency, he found that the decision to liquidate the initial project had been brought before the courts by the construction company Corsán-Corviam and architects as Rafael de la Hoz and Ángel Borrego, who asked to suspend the award of the second project until they resolve their disputes.
The community opted then for to reverse the award to OHL and Accionaconstruction that led to this decision before the Administrative Court of Public Procurement. The entity gave them the right to declare null and void the order, but joy was short-lived: the regional Government appealed the decision to the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid, which ruled in his favor, and on march 3, the Supreme court confirmed this decision. The statement allows you to Lopez pick a plan that has picked up strength in the face of the coronavirus, when the donut came to be used as a morgue. “As has been approved by the construction of a hospital covid at a farm attached, is going to produce a lot of synergy between the hospital and the Institute of Legal Medicine,” said the director in a recent interview granted to this newspaper.

Lopez suggests that the transfer will cost about five million. The figure is not new: in July of 2018, the Community of Madrid already found a external report that its implementation would cost 4.8 million euros. “The report goes on to say that the technicians of the Directorate General of Infrastructures of Justice had already detected, that your putting in operation was expensive, and, therefore, the decision was made not to put it in place,” said then-councilor of Justice, Yolanda Ibarrola. The position has changed after the coronavirus, and the president Isabel Diaz Ayuso announced the construction of a hospital emergency department next to the City of Justice, which also hopes to start be used from autumn: 1,000 beds of hospitalization and 48 specific to the ICU for a possible regrowth.
The minister of Justice considers that this opens a new scenario for operation of the donut. “Let’s try that to the IML is an exponent of modernitynot only in Spain but also in Europe,” he says. “Practice autopsies to deaths per covid and epidemics in rooms vacuum perfectly suited, and will work as a morgue”. Lopez, however, stresses that this is only the first step to take up the idea of concentrating all the courts in madrid in Valdebebas. 14 years after it was announced the City of Justice, with sentences and more than 100 million invested by the regional Government wants to recover the mammoth project of Esperanza Aguirre.
