Constitutional Court admits unconstitutionality challenge regarding Public Employment Act 20/2021

The Constitutional Court has admitted for processing unconstitutionality challenge no. 5551-2026, which contests the validity of the sixth and eighth additional provisions of Law 20/2021 (BOE-A-2021-21651). The proceedings arise from a potential breach of Articles 23.2 and 149.1.18 of the Spanish Constitution, raised by the High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha. The Court has reserved the right to rule on the matter (Art. 10.1 c LOTC).

In 2 key points

  1. Admission for processing of unconstitutionality challenge no. 5551-2026 (providencia de 22 de septiembre de 2026)
  2. 15-day deadline to appear if already a party to ordinary proceeding no. 434-2022 (art. 37.2 LOTC)

How it affects those involved

For public administrations and workers affected by Law 20/2021, the admission of this challenge creates legal uncertainty regarding the stability of measures intended to reduce temporary employment in the public sector. Parties already involved in ordinary proceeding no. 434-2022 have a 15-day period to appear before the Constitutional Court (Art. 37.2 LOTC).
