Similarly, as expected, the plenary session of the Court of Guarantees accepted the request of former Minister of Justice and Judge Juan Carlos Campo to withdraw.
He Constitutional Court (TC) unanimously decided this Wednesday to admit to the hearing the issue of unconstitutionality raised by the UN Supreme Court (TS) on the application of the amnesty law to the crime of public disorder, the day on which the period for appealing against the rule has expired.
Legal sources have reported that the plenary has agreed to this revise the standard. Last July, the Supreme Court raised the issue of unconstitutionality, holding that Article 1 of the law “violates the constitutional right to equality and the principles of legal certainty, prohibition of arbitrariness and exclusivity of jurisdiction.”
The Supreme Court decided to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court after examining the case of two people convicted of public disorder for events that took place in Girona following the verdict in which former Catalan vice-president Oriol Junqueras and other leaders of the ‘trials’ were convicted.
On the other hand, the court accepted the abstention of the former Minister of Justice and magistrate Juan Carlos Campowho asked to withdraw from this case because as a minister he signed the files of the pardons for the independence leaders in a document in which he crossed out a future amnesty as unconstitutional.
