Podemos denounces the risk of a "soft coup" and believes that the Senate can ignore a possible suspension of the TC to its reform

He reproaches that the high court acts in an "undemocratic" way and outside the Magna Carta

MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Podemos has sued the Constitutional Court not to act in an "undemocratic" way and finally not to provisionally suspend the reform that unblocks its renewal before the parliamentary process in the Senate is complete, although it has revealed that if it finally resolves in that sense, the Cortes Generales They have sufficient legal arguments not to address this stoppage.

This was stated at a press conference by the co-spokeswoman for the purple formation, Alejandra Jacinto, to describe as "very serious" the possible "soft blow" to democracy that could be perpetrated by the "apparatus of the judicial right", if the Plenary of the TC admits the precautionary measures requested by the PP before the bill is approved in the upper house.

Jacinto has explained that it is a violation of the separation of powers and crossing a "red line" that would threaten the foundations of the democratic system.

In turn, he has denounced that the attitude of the body, with a third of members with an expired mandate, is part of an "antidecratic" campaign of the Spanish right against the coalition government, started from the beginning of the legislature and whose Clear examples are the blocks to the renewal of the Constitutional and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ).

Now, in this drift promoted by the PP that at first spoke of an "illegitimate" government, it is now even going on to state that Parliament is also one to legislate because it is "completely incomprehensible" that the TC claims the ability to intervene in the process of creating regulations.

And it is that Jacinto has recriminated that the appeal of the PP directly affects the right of political participation and places the TC "outside the Constitution and democratic principles."

In addition, the co-spokesperson for Podemos has ruled that this crisis makes it clear that the strategy of supposed moderation of the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has been "diluted" and that it even reproduces with "more virulence if possible" the strategy established in its day by the former president of the party Pablo Casado.

In this way, he has proclaimed that the purple formation is going to defend the legislative capacity of Congress and the Senate, advancing that it will propose all the initiatives in its power to renew the constitutional bodies, as is the case of the CGPJ and its position in favor of enabling the absolute majority to elect new members.

Therefore, he has wanted the TC to return to prudence, to common sense, and to act in accordance with the law and the Magna Carta itself. But questioned about whether the suspension was finally agreed, Jacinto has maintained that it would have to be assessed when it was a firm decision but understands that Congress and the Senate have "sufficient" writings and legal elements to not address a possible paralysis of the reform due to the court before finalizing its approval.
