Arrimadas celebrates the decision of the Constitutional Court and urges the Government to accept the rules of democracy

MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, celebrated this Monday that the Constitutional Court (TC) urgently suspends the parliamentary processing, already in the Senate, of the two amendments that modify the system of election and arrival of the two candidates for the TC appointed by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and has demanded that the Government accept the rules of democracy.

"Democracy wins and Sánchez loses," said the leader of Ciudadanos in a message posted on the social network Twitter, collected by Europa Press, in which she pointed out that "it is great news that the attack by PSOE and Podemos on the rights of deputies is stopped by the Constitutional Court".

"The Government and the parties that support it must abide by it and accept the rules of democracy," Arrimadas recalled on social networks.

The Plenary of the Constitutional Court (TC) has agreed this Monday to urgently suspend the parliamentary processing, already in the Senate, of the two amendments by which the system of election and arrival of the two candidates to the TC appointed by the Council is modified General of the Judiciary (CGPJ), thus admitting the very precautionary measures requested by the PP in its appeal against said amendments, according to legal sources consulted by Europa Press.

In this way, the magistrates have understood that the progress of the parliamentary procedure causes damage that is difficult to repair to the rights of the 'popular' legislators, who invoked article 23 of the Constitution, which includes the right to political participation of citizens through their representatives.

It is the first time, in its more than 40-year history, that the Constitutional Order urgently suspends a parliamentary debate in the Cortes Generales, so it is an unprecedented decision.
