We can see "bad sign" that the TC admits the appeal of the PP: There is an intention to "continue with the blow to democracy"

MADRID, 19 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Podemos has described as a "very bad sign" the admission for processing by the Constitutional Court (TC) of the PP's appeal to paralyze the reform that is being processed in the Cortes Generales to unblock its renewal, given that "everything indicates that the right wing " of the organization "intends to continue with its blow to parliamentary democracy".

This has been indicated by sources from the purple formation after learning that, in addition to evaluating the appeal against the two amendments that modify the election system, it also rejects the challenges of Unidas Podemos and PSOE against two magistrates: the president of the guarantee court, Pedro González-Trevijano, and magistrate Antonio Narváez.

A decision that, according to legal sources, has been adopted by six votes (those of the conservative majority) against five (those of the progressive minority).

From Podemos they have stressed that if a "constitutionally expired" TC finally dares "for the first time in 40 years" of democracy, it dares to intervene in the "legislative process of producing laws, it would "be crossing a red line with very serious consequences ".

This morning the co-spokeswoman for Podemos, Alejandra Jacinto, has sued the Constitutional Court not to act in an "undemocratic" way and finally not to suspend the reform as a precautionary measure. However, she has explained that if she finally resolves in that sense, the Cortes Generales have sufficient legal arguments not to attend to this stoppage.

He has also denounced that this conflict reveals a "soft blow" to democracy that could perpetrate the "apparatus of the judicial right." 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.
