The PP spokesperson in the Senate, Alicia Garcíaannounced this Friday that his formation will propose the presentation of a conflict of powers with Congress before the Constitutional Court (TC) In the event that the socialist president Francina Armengol ratifies her intention to send directly to the BOE the law that validates prison sentences served in the European Union and benefits ETA prisoners.
In a press conference from the Senate, the spokesperson for the ‘populares’ announced that they have formally requested the Congress Board to bring to the plenary session the vote on this law that could benefit ETA prisoners. And the president of the Senate, the ‘popular’ Pedro Rollán, already wrote by letter to his counterpart in Congress to criticize that Armengol did not consider this norm vetoed and specified that the person competent to decide this matter was the Constitutional Court. Now, the ‘popular’ have given another step and they have once again formally required Armengol to debate this law because, if he does not do so, they will refer this matter to the Constitutional Court with a conflict of powers with Congress.
It is not the first time that the ‘popular’, with their absolute majority In the Senate, they raise a conflict of powers with Congress, since a few months ago they approved this unprecedented institutional clash between the two Chambers for the Amnesty Law, although they themselves left it void so as not to take it to the Constitutional Court.
“We find the agreement of the Congressional Board inadmissible, which has dealt with this matter without any legal report to support it and usurping the ability to interpret the Regulations of the Senate, which does not concern it”García indicated. In his opinion, “the use of Congress based on Sánchez’s interest is one more example of how Sanchismo puts the institutions at its service.”
