Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
Members of the National Assembly sought review of unconstitutionality by omission against the National Assembly for failing to approve the Law on the Institutionalisation of Local Authorities, alleging unjustified postponement of local government under the Constitution. The Court did not declare unconstitutionality by omission, finding no breach of the limits of Article 242 of the Constitution and no abuse or misuse of legislative power, while urging political forces to build the consensus needed to pass the law.
