Abstract

e-Publica could not fail to join in the celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of the Constitutional Court, which is being commemorated throughout 2023. The existence of a constitutional court with the characteristics of the Constitutional Court is, perhaps, the main innovation of the constitutional order re-established by the 1976 Constitution, and the effective implementation of a consistent practice of respect for and compliance with fundamental rights by public authorities depends, to a large extent, on it.
