Parámetros utilizados por la Corte Constitucional en el control de constitucionalidad de los Decretos-Leyes de Urgencia Económica a raíz de la muerte cruzada

The current study examines the parameters used by the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court to determine the constitutionality of economic emergency decree-laws issued by the President during the "Muerte Cruzada" crisis. These parameters are crucial for ensuring that legal procedures align with constitutional principles during economic emergencies. Article 148 of the Constitution grants the President the authority to issue economic emergency decree-laws without the National Assembly's approval. In this context, the Constitutional Court plays a vital role in constitutional review, issuing prior rulings that assess the legality of these decree-laws. In its evaluation, the Court employs constitutional interpretation principles and conducts conventionality analyses, establishing legal standards that safeguard the principles of proportionality, necessity, and legality. These criteria ensure that the emergency measures respect fundamental rights and remain within the bounds of state power. Given that the National Assembly was dissolved under "Muerte Cruzada," the Court’s vigilance is critical to prevent arbitrary executive actions. The Court’s seven prior rulings, based on constitutional interpretation and criteria, demonstrate the necessity of its role in this context. This non-experimental study, supported by expert constitutional analysis and specific data collection tools, incorporates comparative insights from constitutional bodies in Spain and Peru. The research recommends clarifying regulations specific to such crises and enhancing political oversight over the Executive to prevent power abuses. One key proposal is to prohibit the issuance of economic emergency decree-laws after the dissolution of the National Assembly and to establish a legislative continuity mechanism involving alternate assembly members.
