Key Points

  • Filed 'recurs de súplica' after court rejected writ for challenging government action.
  • Seeks details on loan recipients, allocation criteria, and safeguards using public funds.
  • Vows to exhaust legal options and adapt request if appeal fails.
  • Highlights transparency as a democratic obligation amid Covid-19 aid disputes.

Andorra Endavant has filed an appeal—known as a *recurs de súplica*—with the Constitutional Court after it rejected the party's initial writ of protection regarding the distribution of pandemic-era soft loans.

The parliamentary group announced the move in a press statement, confirming it had submitted the appeal against the court's decision not to admit the original request. The court dismissed the writ because it challenged a government action, which falls outside the scope of such protections; those apply solely to resolutions from the Consell General or the Sindicatura.

The party is pressing for public access to details on the loans' recipients, allocation criteria, and safeguards, maintaining that these involved public funds. "Soft loans involve public resources, and when public money is managed, citizens have a right to know who received them, under what criteria, and with what guarantees," the group stated.

Andorra Endavant emphasized it will exhaust all legal and judicial avenues under the rule of law to ensure the information becomes accessible and to bolster institutional trust "through light and shorthand." It described transparency as "not an option, but a democratic obligation."

Should the Constitutional Court uphold its rejection, the party pledged not to relinquish its oversight role. It plans to reorient the request, adapting it strictly to the court's criteria, so the core matter—the transparency of soft loan management—can receive full judicial scrutiny.

Originally set to hold a press conference, Andorra Endavant canceled it in favor of the written communiqué. The effort underscores ongoing disputes over scrutiny of Covid-19 financial measures.
