Díaz sees the ruling of the TC as serious, asks for serenity and to act respecting the Rule of Law: "Democracy will prevail"

From their environment they advocated abiding by the resolution in the face of the voices of Podemos that were betting on ignoring the suspension of the reform

MADRID, 20 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has described as a "serious fact" that for the first time in the history of the country, after the ruling of the Constitutional Court (TC), the "representatives of the people have seen their legislative activity partially suspended", although has proclaimed that "democracy will prevail."

In this sense, according to sources close to her to Europa Press, Díaz has guaranteed that "democracy will prevail" and that both she and the Government will continue working "on the side of democracy, the rule of law and the institutions ". In this way, he slipped the position favorable to the decision of the high court.

"We are going to do it with dialogue, with serenity and with a constructive policy," the aforementioned sources have added to emphasize that this situation is the "result of a process of deterioration" of the institutions.

A drift generated by "the capture of partisan interests of the judicial leadership and the resistance of the PP to comply with the Constitution."

Sources around him already indicated throughout the day that they distance themselves from the option of ignoring the TC resolution, as Podemos and some voices from the confederate space had pointed out, and they stressed that the decision adopted by the high government will be accepted from the Government court, reserving the right to appeal in the European legal instances by Unidas Podemos.

This morning the co-spokeswoman for Podemos, Alejandra Jacinto, defended that if the Constitutional Court acted in an "undemocratic" manner, it suspended the processing of this reform, the Cortes Generales have sufficient legal arguments not to attend to this paralysis.

In the same line, the spokesman for United We Can in Congress, Pablo Echenique, later expressed himself, who at a press conference explained that if the TC "intervenes in an unprecedented way" the processing of laws in the seat of national sovereignty, where according to the Constitution resides the mandate to elaborate laws, "there would be no reason to abide by" such an order. However, he has recalled that his party lacks representation in the Upper House.

Other voices from the confederate space outside the purple formation also indicated their position in favor of ignoring the pronouncement of the TC from the Senate.

Meanwhile, the leader of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, has denounced that the "political and judicial right" is carrying out "an unprecedented blow to democracy."

The president of the confederal group, Jaume Asens, has asserted that the TC's decision to prevent a "democratic vote in the Senate" today is an "error", but "tomorrow it will be a shame for all of Europe".

The third secretary of the Table of Congress and co-spokesman of the purple party, Javier Sánchez Serna, has also proclaimed on social networks that "the coup against the legislative power by an outdated and illegitimate court be consummated." "A part of the State never accepted the results of the polls on November 10. It is time to defend popular sovereignty."

Meanwhile, the IU Organization Secretary, Ismael González, proclaimed article 66 of the Constitution on networks, which establishes that the General Courts represent the Spanish people and are "inviolable".
