The Constitutional Court refused the appeal filed by PAN against a ruling that had invalidated the election of the party's national organs, including the selection of spokesperson Inês Sousa Real. The decision was made by the court's plenary.
The People-Animals-Nature party attempted to reverse the previous ruling that had declared invalid the election of its national organs, but the appeal was rejected by the constitutional judges.
This decision maintains the invalidity of PAN's internal electoral process, which places the party in a situation of uncertainty regarding the legitimacy of its current national organs and its leadership.
Inês Sousa Real, who had been elected party spokesperson through this process now invalidated, thus sees the maintenance of the invalidity of her election to the position she held confirmed.
