The appointment system for the 13 judges of the Constitutional Court (TC) requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Assembly of the Republic. Historically, this has ensured a balance between judges appointed by the two parties that founded the democratic regime. The author argues that altering this balance based on a temporary parliamentary situation would constitute a structural change and a potential constitutional rupture. Furthermore, the author highlights that a clear majority of Portuguese voters support parties that uphold the Constitution, and warns the PSD against forming alliances with anti-system parties to appoint judges, urging moderate deputies to protect the integrity of the Constitutional Court.
