Errejón charges against the "democratic outrage" of the TC that "guzzles" the Cortes Generales "elected by popular vote"

MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Más País, Íñigo Errejón, has charged this Monday against the Constitutional Court (TC) after it urgently suspended the parliamentary process, already in the Senate, of the two amendments by which the election system is modified and arrival of the two candidates for the TC appointed by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), thus admitting the very precautionary measures requested by the PP in its appeal against said amendments.

With this decision, according to the deputy, "the democratic outrage" caused by the guarantee body is consumed. "Some magistrates who break the law gag the Courts elected by popular vote. Democracy must be defended," he wrote in a message posted on the social network Twitter, collected by Europa Press.

The legal sources consulted by Europa Press detail that the vote has ended with six votes, those of the conservative majority, compared to five, those of the minority that makes up the progressive bloc.

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.
