MÉS per Mallorca and MÉS per Menorca will challenge the Omnibus Law in the Constitutional Court
The ecosovereignists denounce irregularities in the parliamentary process and violation of rights
PalmaMÉS per Mallorca and Més per Menorca have confirmed this Tuesday that they will challenge the Omnibus Law before the Constitutional Court (TC) through an appeal for protection because they consider that it has been approved irregularly. The reason is that the norm includes amendments on issues that have nothing to do with the promotion of strategic projects, which was the initial object of the norm, to which even the name has ended up being modified through an amendment. The changes introduced mainly by the PP and Vox, although the PSIB has also agreed to several with the popular ones, affect about fifty laws. In parallel, MÉS per Mallorca will also present a second unconstitutionality appeal for the points they consider affect citizens' "rights".
The eco-sovereignists align with the criterion that the Parliament's lawyers expressed in committee. As established by article 125 of the regulations, amendments presented to bills must be related to their object, and only in case of unanimity of the members of the board can an exception be made to introduce others. In fact, both parties have refused to vote on amendments that had nothing to do with the object of the law during the processing, although at the last moment they have modified this position to prevent several significant amendments from being validated thanks to their abstention.
Regarding the appeal that affects the content, and which has been announced by the spokesperson for MÉS per Mallorca, Lluís Apesteguia, it specifically refers to the elimination of the Catalan language knowledge requirement for teachers in very difficult to cover positions, which according to the deputy contravenes the Law of Linguistic Normalization. Also, to the limitation of access to the Guaranteed Social Income (Resoga) for people who prove that they have lived at least three years in the Balearic Islands. They consider that acquired rights are violated and, therefore, these measures are subject to challenge.
