However, what we observe in the present case is a state of procedural inertia, incompatible with the swiftness that the constitutional text demands.
Kim Kataguiri: The absence of reading of the request and the indefinite postponement of the installation of the Commission end up producing an effect equivalent to tacit denial, thereby undermining, by indirect means, the constitutional instrument of parliamentary oversight.
Kim Kataguiri: One cannot admit that administrative formalities, political schedules or considerations of opportunity of the Presiding Board prevail over a guarantee expressly provided for in the Higher Law.
