Overview

• The Supreme Court’s Contentious-Administrative Chamber dismissed Tezanos’s challenge on June 24, 2025, confirming a €3,000 JEC fine originally imposed on June 27, 2024.
• The penalty stems from the CIS’s failure to notify the Junta Electoral Central about its April 2024 E3500 flash survey, breaching articles 69.8 and 153.2 of the Organic Law on the General Electoral Regime and related JEC instructions.
• The survey was conducted two days after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s letter announcing a period of reflection and during the 2024 Catalan and European Parliament elections.
• Tezanos contends that the electoral law does not expressly require prior notification of survey questionnaires and labels the sanction unjust.
• His planned appeal to the Constitutional Court represents the next phase of legal review in a case that has spanned multiple judicial bodies.
