Defensa política de la constitución. Emergencia, excepcionalidad y democracia / Political defense of the constitution. Emergency, exceptional quality and democracy

Resumen

Resumen

El presente estudio pretende justificar la necesidad de imponer lími­tes y controles en la declaración de circunstancias de excepcionali­dad democrática acordes con los postulados del Estado democrático de Derecho. La Constitución democrática es la Norma Suprema del Estado, y para su defensa no es suficiente la garantía jurídica. Es imprescindible su defensa política ante situaciones de anormalidad democrática para que, en un plazo de tiempo preciso, el propio po­der democrático y los derechos y libertades queden salvaguardados. El Derecho de excepción no es algo ajeno al Estado de Derecho, sino que forma parte de su propia concepción, y exige su someti­miento a principios, al objeto de evitar su abuso, entre los que des­tacan el Derecho Internacional en materia de derechos y libertades. El estudio se aborda desde un modelo teórico, válido para cualquier Estado democrático, puesto que sólo en democracia se justifican los objetivos del Estado de Derecho.

 Abstract

 The present study tries to justify the need to impose limits and con­trols in the declaration of circumstances of excepcionality demo­cratic according to the postulates of the democratic State of Law. The democratic Constitution is the Supreme Norm of the State, and for his defense the juridical guarantee is not sufficient. His political defense is indispensable before situations of democratic abnormal­ity in order that, in the space of precise time, the own democratic power and the rights and freedoms remain safeguarded. The Law of exception is not anything foreign to the Constitutional state, but it forms a part of his own conception, and it is required his submission to beginning, in order to avoid his abuse, between that they empha­size the International Law as for rights and freedoms. The study is approached from a theoretical, valid model for any democratic State, since only in democracy the aims of the Constitutional state justify themselves.
