The government stated that the regional court had overstepped its mandate.
“The Court has no competence to control the constitutionality of internal law, nor a title to judge a national constituent power,” said the official statement.
The government recalled that if the Regional Court is empowered to control the respect of human rights and violations of regional law, it cannot substitute itself for the constitutional court of a sovereign state.
