Andorra Endavant Challenges Covid Loans Secrecy in Constitutional Court

The Andorra Endavant parliamentary group, led by Carine Montaner, has announced plans to challenge the government's lack of transparency on Covid-era soft loans before the Constitutional Court.

The decision comes after receiving what the group called an inadequate response from the Finance Ministry on 12 January 2026 to an appeal lodged with the syndicus general. Andorra Endavant had requested disclosure of the companies that received the publicly guaranteed loans, along with the amounts awarded and the terms of those guarantees—details the executive has refused to release, despite the funds involving public money.

In a statement, the group argued that these loans "are not a private matter between the government and businesses" but public guarantees backed by citizens' contributions, with possible effects on current and future public finances.

Citing article 95 of the Qualified Law on the Constitutional Court, Andorra Endavant will submit an appeal and request for constitutional protection within the 15-day deadline. The group seeks a ruling to uphold citizens' right to information and assess whether withholding beneficiary names, loan amounts, and conditions is lawful.

Andorra Endavant described the case as pivotal for the country's democratic standards, leaving it to the court to decide if the public deserves to know how these government-backed funds were allocated or if the executive's opacity complies with the law.

The group stressed that the issue transcends politics, centering on a core democratic tenet: transparency in managing public resources that belong to citizens, not the government.
