Abstract

This article refers to the main elements of the fundamental right recognized in article 23 of the Constitution, in connection with a recent Constitutional Court Judgment which raises a question on the horizontal relationship between fundamental rights. Without directly considering the effectiveness of fundamental rights in private legal relations, the Judgment does considers that the examined case is connected with issues arising from the impact of the right to participation in a labor relationship, proposing a balancing between the fundamental right with those activities that take place in the private sphere.
