The court will review the vice president's proposal on June 10 before issuing its first ruling on the contentious amnesty measure on June 24.

Conde-Pumpido defiende que el TC debe mantenerse "imperturbable" ante las críticas

Overview

  • The Constitutional Court has set June 10 for an initial review of Vice President Inmaculada Montalbán’s report on the Partido Popular’s (PP) appeal against the amnesty measure.
  • A monographic plenary session will begin on June 24 to deliver the court’s first ruling on the amnesty’s constitutionality.
  • The PP’s appeal is considered the most comprehensive and will serve as the benchmark for addressing other challenges to the amnesty.
  • Court President Cándido Conde-Pumpido emphasized the importance of adhering to the established timeline despite objections from conservative magistrates.
  • The decision on the PP’s appeal is expected to set a precedent for other challenges filed by PP-led regional governments.
