The PP has asked the Constitutional Court to remove Judge Laura Díez from the deliberation on the appeal presented by the PSOE against the Supreme Court’s decision to reject the request to review some 30,000 invalid votes from the general elections held on July 23 in Madrid. .

Legal sources have confirmed that the court of guarantees has already received the challenge raised by the PP, who demand from the court that Díez, as a former Moncloa official, not participate in the debate on the Madrid null votes.

The Constitutional Court must now deliberate whether or not to accept the party’s request, which will further delay the time scheduled to address and resolve the socialists’ appeal regarding the counting of null votes.

According to the sources consulted, the magistrates of the Second Chamber, with a progressive majority, were scheduled to meet on Monday to rule on the invalid votes of 23J, after hearing the allegations of the Socialists and the Prosecutor’s Office. The recusal of the PP means that it is most likely that the debate will have to be postponed to first clarify what will happen to Díez.

Despite the request of the formation of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, legal sources have recalled that, in any case, the deliberation on the null votes will take place next week since it is an appeal for electoral protection that must be attended to within the deadlines. provided by law.
