The release of the Decree-Law as a source of autonomous law

Abstract

The new Statute of Autonomy has meant a substantial modification in the configuration of the articulation of the relations of our Autonomous Community with the remaining levels of government, as well as in the expansion of the commitments and tasks assumed by the Junta de Andalucía with its citizens, given that it has been specifically recognized in the statutory norm a long list of social rights. The novelties have also been projected to areas that, given their technical nature, have in principle being inadvertent for citizenship, but whose relevance is clearly evident. This is the case with the regulation that the new Statute made of the sources of law, as it incorporates certain normative categories that, although they have been traditionally known and neatly used by the central level of government, were not initially assumed by statutory texts. From one of those sources of Right, namely, the figure of the Decree-Law, we will have to deal with the present chronic.
