The Constitutional Court declares the Amnesty Law constitutional

The ruling addresses arguments related to the principles of equality, legal certainty, separation of powers, solidarity, and territorial equality and financial autonomy, in addition to issues related to effective judicial protection, jurisdiction reservation, and accounting jurisdiction.
The Constitutional Court declares the constitutionality of the measure, with dissenting votes. The ruling also notes the partial loss of object of the process concerning part of the issues raised, following a previous resolution of the court itself.
