1974 protest law to be reviewed by the Constitutional Court
A judge has referred the 1974 decree-law regulating protests to the Constitutional Court, ruling that its restrictions on late-night demonstrations may be unconstitutional. The Public Prosecutor is now required to initiate a constitutional review of the 52-year-old law.
Why it matters
