The Supreme Court rejects ordering ministers to appear before the Senate before the end of August to explain the crisis in Ceuta

The Spanish Supreme Court has rejected a request for an urgent precautionary measure filed by the People's Party (PP) to compel government ministers to appear before the Senate before the end of August to explain the ongoing crisis in Ceuta.

In its ruling, the court denied the petition on the grounds that there was insufficient justification to prove that the requested parliamentary control was strictly tied to the effective exercise of the senators' right to political office, as recognized under Article 23.2 of the Constitution. The PP had sought an order requiring the government to take organizational decisions within a maximum of 24 hours to ensure the ministerial appearances during the summer month.
