Aner Uriarte, president of the Bilbao Court of Instance, will challenge Iñaki Subijana for the presidency of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV), with Subijana seeking a second term.

Aner Uriarte, a member of the Professional Association of the Judiciary (APM), has officially submitted his candidacy to the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), with the deadline expiring this Tuesday. Uriarte was re-elected dean judge of Bilbao for a third term in January 2023, having first taken office in June 2014 and being re-elected on September 26, 2018.
Uriarte joined the judicial career in 2000. His first assignment was as head of the Court of First Instance and Instruction 4 in Durango, where he served from May 2002 to September 2005. He then became a magistrate and worked at the Court of First Instance number 14 in Bilbao. From April 2009, he served as a commercial judge until 2014, when he became the head of the Dean's Office in Bilbao. In December 2022, when announcing his candidacy for a third consecutive term, he stated his intention not to run in subsequent elections for this position.
Meanwhile, Iñaki Subijana, associated with Judges for Democracy (JpD), is seeking re-election as head of the TSJPV. Subijana has completed a five-year term in office, having taken up his position on April 29, 2021.
Born in 1963, Subijana entered the judicial career in 1990. His first judicial post was at the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 1 in Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa. After being promoted to magistrate, he worked at the Provincial Court of Cádiz between 1992 and 1995. Subsequently, he moved to the Court of First Instance 5 in Donostia and later to the Criminal Court 2 in the capital of Gipuzkoa. In 2001, he became a magistrate in the first section of the Provincial Court of Gipuzkoa and was appointed president of this jurisdictional body in September 2010. Following a selection process, the plenary session of the General Council of the Judiciary will appoint the next president of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country for the next five years.
