Did the Constitutional Court Weaken the President?

The Constitutional Court made a unanimous decision to validate the Return Law, which represents a significant political setback. This validation removes the margin for a possible future presidential veto, weakening the President's position regarding this legislative matter. The article questions whether the Constitutional Court's decision weakened the President. There is also a reference to a new press conference that may have an impact on the Minister of Internal Administration's situation, raising the possibility that this public communication could save the minister from possible political consequences.
