Editorial: El Mundo

• The Constitutional Court is considered increasingly politicized and is risking becoming a chamber of impunity for those close to the government.
• The Constitutional Court (TC) is exceeding its role to settle matters that affect fundamental rights, acting as an appeal court that corrects ordinary courts.
• There is suspicion of bias over the TC due to certain decisions, such as the proposal to exonerate Carmen Martínez Aguayo, number two under José Antonio Griñán, from embezzlement.
• The ERE sentence concluded that the Junta rigged a 'fraudulent system', with which they individually distributed nearly 680 million euros.
• Members of the TC, the majority appointed at the proposal of the political parties, refute the decisions of independent judges.

Conclusion: The politicization of the Constitutional Court and its recent decisions are causing serious discredit and distrust in the institution, endangering its legitimacy and original purpose.
