El Tribunal Constitucional ante las reformas estatutarias

Resumo

The reform of some Statutes of Autonomy —especially, the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, because of its content and its importance— has caused the deployment of every kind of appeal upon the Constitutional Court. The analysis of the ways and means in which those appeals have been filed and how their proceedings and judgements have been faced, shows that the magnitude of the problem has been much higher than the capacity of the present Court of solving it with rigor and promptness. Therefore, regardless of the way the appeals still pending are solved, it should not be postponed the adoption of those measures necessary to correct the damage and the serious crisis which, due to the said statutary reforms, have definitely affected the system of constitutional justice
