Africa-Press – Angola. The Constitutional Court (TC) denied the existence of unconstitutionality by omission due to the fact that the National Assembly (AN) has not yet approved the Law on the Institutionalization of Local Authorities, as provided for in the Constitution of the Republic.
In a Ruling 1027/2025, of process no. 1269-A/2025 under Inspection of Unconstitutionality by Omission, to which ANGOP had access this Friday (3), the Plenary of Judges of the TC decided not to declare the alleged unconstitutionality by omission.
The action was filed by 49 deputies of the National Assembly and aimed to verify whether the failure to approve, to date, the Law on the Institutionalization of Local Authorities by Parliament constitutes an unconstitutional omission, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 2 of article 242 of the Constitution of the Republic of Angola (CRA).
The TC’s arguments emphasize that “the Constitutional Court considers that the alignment of the provisions of Article 242 of the Constitution with the grounds presented by the Plaintiff and the Defendant, the normative scope of the provision in question, and the necessary weighing of the constitutionally protected interests at stake, do not result in or subsist regarding the absence of any violation of the normative limits enshrined in this same article, nor is there any disrespect, abuse, or deviation in the acts of the legislative branch. Indeed, there is no evidence, strictly speaking, of any legislative unconstitutionality by omission.”
