The Constitutional Court accepted the Popular Party’s appeal against the amnesty law and accepted that Judge José María Macías, who actively opposed the law when he was a member of the judiciary, would be the interpreter of the judgment . The plenary assembly, unanimously of all its members, rejected the challenge presented by the public prosecutor, considering it “premature”. They still have to study a similar request to remove the Macías filed by the prosecutor’s office but in other resources.
In recent weeks, the Guarantee Court has received around twenty appeals and challenges against the amnesty law. Several of them have already been admitted for treatment, such as the question of unconstitutionality presented by the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court, and there are more than a dozen appeals from the autonomous communities and regional parliaments governed by the PP waiting to adopt this first procedure.
The appeal of the party of Alberto Núñez Feijóo which has just been admitted to treatment is, according to judicial sources, the most relevant because it is the one that most covers the amnesty law and the one that will open the way for the rest of the process. call. The president, José María Mácias, had been challenged for leading the opposition of the conservative sector of the General Council of the Judiciary to the law while he was a member of that body. The plenary session is still scheduled to consider a challenge against Macías raised by the prosecutor’s office in another of the appeals that were admitted for processing.
