Abstract

The present work analyzes the new faculties attributed to the Constitutional Court to guarantee the fulfilment of his judgments and resolutions. Such attributions (the suspension of public authorities or employees, the substitute enforcement and the adoption of enforcement measures inaudita parte) and the coercive fine recognized from the beginning, have generated an important polemic in the doctrine and in the Constitutional Court itself. The conclusion is that the reform, while not being essential, does not deserve the criticisms that have been made against it.
