The Parliament's new independence law will be suspended on April 9. The plenary session of the Constitutional Court will admit the Government's appeal.
This will paralyze the popular legislative initiative until it resolves on the merits of the matter. The Government's challenge invokes article 161.2 of the Constitution, which provides that the petition against appealed autonomous regulations will automatically result in their suspension. The suspension will be agreed upon by virtue of the unconstitutionality appeal approved by the Government at its meeting last Tuesday.
