The PP wants to urgently change the Constitutional Court law to punish Mas
Albiol: ‘The joke is over’
The candidate for the Popular Party of Catalonia for the
27 September elections, Xavier García Albiol, and the spokesperson for
the PP in the Spanish congress, Rafael Hernando, have announced that the
party will put forward a modification of the Organic Law of the Spanish
Constitutional Court to give this institution mechanisms to ensure that
resolutions are fulfilled and to act against all people who breach
them. Up to now, only ordinary justice had the power to do this. Albiol,
who mentioned the president of the Government of Catalonia, Artur Mas,
said that the reform would include fines and the suspension of political
leaders who ignored the sentences passed by the court.

The PP wants to start up the reform in this legislature,
taking advantage of its absolute majority and as part of its processing
of the general budgets of the Spanish state. According to Albiol and
Hernando, it will be passed by urgent means to give the Constitutional
Court the capacity to sanction and suspend officials, leaders and
authorities who fail to observe its resolutions.
