Paragraph 80
 

It is unfortunate that the Constitutional Court might be established with such an important case already pending.35 While the composition of a constitutional court is always of keen interest for political actors, having in mind such a specific case when the judges are chosen is not an ideal background for ensuring their independence. However, this does not affect the legitimacy of the Court.


--------------------


35 Once it is established, the Constitutional Court may also have occasion to decide whether it upholds its 2017 decision that the setting of the dates of elections is an individual administrative act or whether it comes to the conclusion that this is a normative act, the control of which is its competence.
