The Constitutional Court issued a statement criticizing certain political parties for employing partisan and politicized tactics intended to undermine the stability of the constitutional order. The Court specifically addressed instances where its work has been exploited regarding matters deemed irrelevant to its core mandate, such as the international activities of the body or the process of renaming public thoroughfares. The Court noted that its jurisdiction includes assessing whether proposed names for streets, schools, and other infrastructure objects hold legal relevance.
Regarding the renaming of streets, the Constitutional Court clarified that while such decisions are inherently political, the judiciary’s focus remains on ensuring that these determinations are brought within the established legal framework. In its statement, the Court emphasized that while it does not endorse the political nature of these decisions, its primary concern is the adherence to law. The institution firmly asserted that it will maintain its constitutional competency and independence, and that its functions will not be subject to external interference.
The message underscores a commitment to upholding the rule of law against partisan challenges to its authority.
