The clash between the Hearing of Seville and the Constitutional Court for the cause of the ERE has been increasing this week, in an exchange of opinions between the two courts, although in Spain the supreme interpreter of matters that affect fundamental rights is the Constitutional Court.
The conflict is that the five judges that make up the Seville Court estimate that the Constitutional could have violated European law with the sentence that acquits the crime of embezzlement to former Andalusian president José Antonio Griñán, among others, and prepare an appeal to European justice. In response to that movement, the Constitutional claimed the providence where they raise this circumstance to study it, and the Sevillian judges demanded this week the Court of Guarantees to clarify the object of their request. The Court of Guarantees plans to prevent the appeal of the audience of Seville before the European justice, for estimating it contrary to articles 4 and 92 of the Organic Law of the Court of Guarantees, which determines the primacy of its resolutions, and establishes that they cannot be reviewed by any ordinary court. Constitutionalist experts consulted by the country do not see a tour of the Sevillian audience initiative.
The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, has influenced sowing suspicions about the legal action of the President of the Constitutional. « Why has he become so nervous? What is he afraid of European legislation so that the European Union Court of Justice resolves some issues that are being raised from the Spanish Judiciary? If he has not done anything he should not have any problem, » he launched, before asking Count-Pipid « to leave the path of interference. » « It’s a dangerous path. Togas dust begins to be too abundant, » he complained.
It is not the first time that the PP attacks against the Constitutional Court of progressive majority, which Vice -Secretary Esteban González Pons called « the cancer of democracy », although later rectified. The popular thus heat the interparliamentary meeting held this weekend in Seville, in which they bring together deputies throughout the country and where, despite the international context, they will shy away the debate on defense spending.
