Overview

• The court admitted Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s April 29 motion against several articles of the July 2024 law and suspended their application immediately for case parties and upon official publication for third parties.
• Suspended provisions include those defining victims’ rights and the creation of the Valencian Unit of Concord under the contested statute.
• The government argues the challenged articles violate constitutional rights outlined in articles 10 and 15 and exceed state competencies under articles 149.1.1, 149.1.6 and 149.1.30.
• The suspension freezes regional budget lines tied to memory and reconciliation programs and pauses bodies established by the Law of Concord.
• Until a final judgment, the previous Law of Democratic Memory governs ongoing exhumations and related procedures initiated before July 2024.
