Naturally, the preparation of the final proposal, which will have to be submitted to the Government Council, must first be done through the Government Council. judgment of the Advisory Council, which is mandatory but not bindingthat is, if it would conflict with the presentation, it will be “reviewed,” said the Counselor to the Presidency, Luis Miguel González Gagobut without ensuring that they would resign if the Castilla y León Consultative report were to the contrary.
Unconstitutionality for the BOE
González Gago, who did not want to put forward the details of his demand until the final proposal is approved by the Mañueco government, stated that “there are important legal elements and arguments that point to the flagrant violation of the rule of law and the principle of equality and constitutes an unavoidable attack on the Constitution” in the text.
However, he acknowledged that until the standard approved today by the Congress of Delegates is published in the BOE, “the latest definition” of the amnesty law cannot be verified, and he also acknowledged that “Every word is important.” In this sense, he points out that the Consultation Report, for which this autonomous body has a period of twenty days once the text is sent to it, can propose to delete, change or add something, and “it will be adapted.”
“We will do it as quickly as possible and with all urgency, of course taking into account the internal deadlines, but always before the three months have expired,” he concluded.
However, Gago, without prior reading from the BOE, defined the lawsuit proposal they have been working on since November – “in the definition of the football field we understand is being desecrated” – as “very powerful and with very serious arguments that,” he understands, “it will be difficult for the Constitutional Court not to have to make an in-depth analysis.”
Regarding the possibility of arranging a joint lawsuit with other autonomous communities that also plan to appeal, González Gago rejected that option because, he said, each will have its own arguments.
