This panel aims to explore the causes that led to, and the implications originating from, the consequential constitutional amendment regarding the Judiciary passed in September 2024. This amendment—which entailed a major overhaul of unprecedented characteristics—was at odds with the distinctive values and purposes of liberal democracy and constitutionalism, representing an overt obliteration of the principle of the separation of powers and crippling judicial independence as a safeguard against the politicisation of justice. This workshop is intended to explore the benefits—if any—and the drawbacks of this constitutional change, alongside the growing concern that it may be replicated in other jurisdictions with its daunting implications. replicarse en otras jurisdicciones con sus abrumadoras consecuencias.
