Marchena vs Conde-Pumpido: the clash over amnesty
With the new ruling from the Criminal Chamber it is clear that we are witnessing a clash of criticism and reproaches between the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court that will go down in the history of both institutions.
A recent court decision by the Sala de lo Penal, signed by Manuel Marchena, has increased tension between the Tribunal Supremo and another institution, over interpretations of law and competency. This follows a previous development on Monday involving magistrate Pablo Llarena and Carles Puigdemont. The decision relates to a doctrine established by the Tribunal Supremo's president, Cándido Conde-Pumpido. The ruling has heightened friction between the two institutions.
