César Azabache on defense of Sunedu: “We want the TC to amend itself”

In December of last year, 33 congressmen, 30 of whom had approved a law to disarm the reform process, asked the Constitutional Court for a pronouncement and it declared that compared to the Constitution there was literally no incompatibility. This time, 9 thousand 853 citizens present a demand to the Constitutional Court to review this issue again, but not comparing the literal text of the law of Congress (the law that modifies the structure of the Sunedu council) with the literal text of the Constitution, but reading it in perspective to the sentence of July 2010 issued by the TC.

What was the TC established in 2010?

The judgment of July 2010, which is still valid in all its content, declares that the supervision of higher education must be in charge of an impartial entity whose conformation does not admit any incidence of the universities that must be controlled. The ruling says that the members of that entity, which is now called Sunedu, must be independent, impartial, unrelated to university authorities and elected on merit. If the law of Congress is sustained and ignores the sentence of the TC of 2010, what will happen is that the foundation of the reform will fall. If the Court decides not to admit this discussion because it is enough with what it said last December, what will come will be new demands by various means so that the 2010 sentence is respected.
