In this sense, the Popular Party has indicated that they now hope that the Government abides by the decision "and does not continue to be involved in this drift, which has already led it to describe the judges as fachas in toga, to not respect the separation of powers and to lash out and put pressure on all those who question his performance".

For your part. The leader of VOX, Santiago Abascal, has highlighted the decision of the Constitutional Court "should stop Sánchez's assault", he adds fearing that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, will disregard the decision of the Constitutional Court and "perpetuate" it after the processing has been paralyzed in the Senate of the reform that seeks to renew the body of guarantees, and has warned that its formation will continue working to "stop" it with a motion of censure and more legal actions.

The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, has applauded the last-minute resolution of the TC. "Democracy wins, Sánchez loses," said the Ciudadanos leader in a message posted on Twitter.

"Democracy wins and Sánchez loses. It is great news that the violation by PSOE and Podemos of the rights of deputies is stopped by the Constitutional Court. The Government and the parties that support it must abide by it and accept the rules of democracy" , comments on social networks.
