The PS justified its request this Monday to postpone the elections for parliament's external bodies, stating that an “adequate solution” has not yet been found for the Constitutional Court, while advocating for the “representativeness of all political groups.”

Context & Explainers
The Constitutional Court (Tribunal Constitucional) is Portugal's highest court for constitutional review, responsible for checking whether laws and statutes comply with the Constitution and for annulling or suspending unconstitutional measures. FNAM's push for a review matters because the court can strike down or block parts of the regional emergency services statute, directly affecting how emergency care is regulated.
