The Constitutional Court admits Vox's appeal against the suppression of the crime of sedition for processing

The Constitutional Court has admitted for processing the appeal presented by the Vox parliamentary group against the reform of the Criminal Code that entailed the suppression of the crime of sedition.

The Government justified it as a necessary step for the comparison of Spanish legislation with that of other European countries.

For Vox, on the other hand, the disappearance of the aforementioned criminal figure implies a risk for basic constitutional principles, such as that of the territorial unity of Spain, by depriving the courts of instruments for their defense.

This resource is about the substance of the reform.

It is, therefore, a different initiative from the one taken by the PP to question the processing of two amendments that sought to take advantage of the same law to introduce rules that would facilitate the renewal of the Constitution itself.

The PP requested precautionary measures that the court approved and that prevented the Senate from voting on the aforementioned amendments.
