The vote that saved the approval of the 2022 labor reform arrives this week at the Constitutional Court. The plenary session of the court of guarantees analyzes on Tuesday the appeal that Alberto Casero, former PP deputy convicted of awarding contracts illegally, filed against the decisions of Congress that prevented him from repeating and changing his vote in favor, key to advancing one of the most important initiatives of the Government in the last legislature. The Prosecutor’s Office has asked to reject its appeal in a case that began with the Popular Party denouncing a conspiracy theory about the parliamentary televoting system and ended with Casero himself admitting that that day, at his home, he made a mistake when pressing a button.
It later emerged that almost everything could have been different without Casero’s mistake. Yolanda Díaz, the Minister of Labour, who was later promoted to vice-president, said months later that she was planning to resign if her flagship project collapsed in Congress. The PP leadership, headed by Pablo Casado, was confident that the fall of that piece would bring down the government.
