Overview

• The Congress approved taking the PNV bill into consideration with support from the governing bloc and allies, while PP and Vox voted against.
• The initiative would amend the Constitutional Court’s organic law to let the court review Supreme Court rulings on competence disputes and to create a new remedy or preliminary question route.
• PNV argues ordinary courts should not block politically negotiated transfers and accuses the Supreme Court of overreach in past disputes.
• Opponents cite possible unconstitutionality and warn of broader effects, with the PP raising concerns about state security forces in the Basque Country and Vox urging replacement of the Constitutional Court with a special Supreme Court chamber.
• The measure now enters committee work and further debate, and its passage remains uncertain as legal challenges and amendments are anticipated.
