Appearences of Local Senators in Front of their Own Assemblies. Is it Truly Unconstitutional?
Abstract
This article studies a very particular side to local senators, namely their appearances in front of the Houses which appoint them. Since this is relatively new it makes it quite an interesting subject, as such appearances have begun to be ruled on a general basis because of the statutory and institutional reforms introduced since 2005, and there is some background to its put into practice in certain autonomous communities. Together with that, Sentence 123/2017, 2 November, which rules the unconstitutionality appeal against Valencian Act on the Appointment of Senators, has introduced some criteria which helps clearing a cloudy and uncertain sky, although it also raises transcendental constitutional questions into the future.
