The PSOE censors that Trevijano and Narváez vote to reject their own challenge in the TC

MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PSOE Secretary for Equality, Andrea Fernández, has censured this Monday that the president of the Constitutional Court (TC), Pedro González-Trevijano, and the magistrate Antonio Narváez have voted to reject their own challenge in the body of guarantees and has assured that this decision is a "lacerating abuse of democratic institutions."

"Trevijano and Narváez, the two magistrates of the TC whose mandate has expired, have voted in favor of rejecting their own recusal," recalled the number 4 of the PSOE in a message published on the social network Twitter, collected by Europa Press, after that the guarantee body has resolved -also by a majority of six to five-- not to accept the challenges launched by PSOE and United We Can against two magistrates, brandishing a technical issue: that the legal-procedural relationship has not yet been established.

In the opinion of the PSOE deputy, "it is tremendous that this lacerating abuse of democratic institutions has no consequence."

These first decisions come after more than five hours of debate in an extraordinary plenary session of great intensity where the main stumbling block has been the challenge initially launched by UP against González-Trevijano and Narváez, considering that they have a "direct interest" in paralyzing this reform because they would be replaced by the candidates nominated by the Government if the proposed modification goes ahead.

The PSOE was later added to the "morada" recusal, in one of the almost twenty writings that the political parties - including PP and Vox - have presented since last Friday as a result of the challenge formulated by the "popular".

It should be remembered that the Plenary of the TC already met urgently last Thursday, but then González-Trevijano agreed to postpone it to this Monday after the five progressive magistrates threatened to leave, if they were not given more time to study a matter of great "complexity" and "relevance" that they had known just 24 hours before. If they had left, they would have prevented the 'quorum' of at least 8 magistrates that is required for the Plenary to be constituted.
