The court ruling, a devastating blow to the Madrid-based regime of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s far-left regime, is in shock. The PSOE (Socialist Workers) government could face calls for compensation far more than the European Union could afford. The ruling will send shock waves through other EU globalist-minded nations. Leftist France and Italy are border neighbours of long-suffering Spain.

The ruling partially concedes the validity of the ultra-nationalist VOX Party’s appeal. It concludes that the confinement suppressed rights and did not merely limit them, which is more typical of a far different ‘State of Exception.’

The decision implies the annulment of all penalties and fines that were imposed for not complying with it. The ruling further opens the door for businesses to set out claims for losses incurred by the declared illegal lockdown.

The Plenary of the Constitutional Court considers by majority that the home confinement of the first state of alarm decreed by the Government in March 2020 exceeded the limits of said ‘Exceptional State set out in the Constitution and therefore was neither legal nor constitutional.

After a long debate, which has had the judges of the High Court divided, the deliberation has resulted in the court’s majority being in favour of approving the draft of the sentence of the magistrate Pedro González-Trevijano by six votes against five, being the vote of the vice president Encarnacion Roca decisive for the tiebreaker.

In the text of the ruling released in the coming days, it is considered that the home confinement by which the Government forced all residents Spanish and non-nationals to stay locked in their homes, except to carry out essential steps, go to the doctor or the jobs allowed, to contain the coronavirus pandemic was not typical of a Sate of Alarm, but of a far more dictatorial State of Exception. 

The magistrates finally support that the measure did not limit the fundamental rights of Spaniards, but rather that they were suspended and, therefore, the limits provided for in the Constitution for this exceptional state was exceeded.

The Constitutional Court ruling resolves the first unconstitutionality appeal against the first state of alarm presented by the Vox political party with this ruling, in which it concedes part of the arguments raised by the party dubbed by corporate media as ‘far right’.

The High Court declares unconstitutional and nulls the articles of the Government decree of March 14, which specified who and in what situations could move freely through the territory during the state of alarm, since the population was prohibited from circulating in a manner general except in exceptions.

The triumphant leader of VOX, Santiago Abascal, has affirmed after learning the meaning of the sentence on his Twitter profile: ‘The greatest violation of rights in history was unconstitutional. Only VOX Party voted against. Only VOX Party appealed to the Constitutional Court to defend the rights and freedoms of the Spanish.
