The Constitutional Court will begin the debate on Vox's appeal against the euthanasia law next week

It will also study new challenges in up to thirteen cases against Conde-Pumpido, Campo, Díez and Segoviano

MADRID, 28 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Constitutional Court (TC) will begin in its plenary session next week the debate on Vox's appeal against the euthanasia law, which it should have addressed in its previous conclave but was delayed due to the challenges launched by the PP against several magistrates .

As reported this Tuesday by the TC, in the plenary session that will begin on March 7, the magistrates will delve into the study of the appeal formulated by deputies of the Vox parliamentary group against Organic Law 3/2021, of March 24, on Regulation of Euthanasia, and, secondarily, against a good part of its articles.

The court of guarantees has clarified that it is a first approximation, based on a presentation given to magistrate Ramón Sáez, since it will probably take several plenary sessions to resolve this appeal, "given the complexity and relevance of the matter". .

The intention of the president of the TC, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, was for this matter to be included in the plenary session of February 21, 22 and 23, but it could not be because the procedure was suspended pending the resolution of the challenges launched by the ' populares' against magistrates Juan Carlos Campo and Laura Díez to remove them from this deliberation.

In the previous plenary session, the Constitutional Court rejected the challenges against Campo and Díez, thus shielding its composition -now with a progressive majority- to respond to the challenge of the euthanasia law.

In that same conclave, he also dismissed Vox's challenges against Conde-Pumpido, Campo, Díez and María Luisa Segoviano in the party's own appeal against the penal reform that repealed sedition and modified embezzlement.

Once this obstacle has been overcome, the TC will study next week the admissibility of Vox's appeal against Organic Law 14/2022, of December 22, on the transposition of European directives and other provisions for the adaptation of criminal legislation to the law of the European Union, and reform of crimes against moral integrity, public disorder and dual-use weapons smuggling.

In addition, in line with the plenary sessions held since the partial renewal of the TC, on January 9, the Constitutional Court will address an incident of challenge urged by Vox against Conde-Pumpido, Campo, Díez and Segoviano in up to thirteen matters.
