Appeal for legal protection num. 5657-2021. (BOE num. 304, of December 21, 2023)

Abstract

We are faced with a declaration that, in addition to reiterating the established doctrine of the Constitutional Court on issues such as the scope of the ius in officium, the requirements of the modification proposals in the Senate, or the reach of the government’s “budgetary veto”, specifies, in light of two resolutions of the President of the Upper Chamber, issued in the appeal under Article 151.5 RS, the specific range of this particular precept and, indirectly, the role that the governing bodies of the Chambers must adopt in the sphere of the functions constitutionally attributed to them and their representatives.
