A comment on the sentence 199/2016 of the Constitutional Court, about the composition of the Bureau of the Andalusian Parliament

Abstract

The Regulation of the Andalusian Parliament contains, with regard to the rules of composition of the Bureau, what we could call a potential antinomy . On the one hand, the article 34 establishes the rule that the three vice presidents and the secretaries that make up the Bureau of the Parliament will be elected by correlative order through a vote in which the deputies only can support with their vote a candidate from among the proposed respectively for the three vice-presidencies and the three secretariats. In the other hand, the article 36 incorporates, since its reform in 1996, the rule that all parliamentary groups have to be represented at the Bureau. Depending on what the result of the elections, the fulfillment of both rules can be simultaneously satisfied or no, since it may be the case that after the vote has not been chosen no representative of the group or parliamentary groups that have been formed with fewer deputies.
