The Constitutional Court has declared unconstitutional the provision in the General State Budget Law of 2022 that transferred the management of local officials with national authorization, such as local secretaries and treasurers, to the Basque Country. This decision was made in response to an appeal of unconstitutionality filed by the PP and supported by a majority of the magistrates, with a dissenting vote from Judge María Luis Balaguer.
The revised provision, while similar in wording, was also deemed unconstitutional by the court, as it exceeded the scope of a budget law and violated constitutional articles related to legislative post-statute, approval of budgets, and control of government expenditure.
