The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously dismissed the appeal challenging the constitutionality of specific military discipline regulations. The court found that applying deprivation of liberty penalties to members of the Guard National Republicana, as mandated by the relevant articles of the Organic Law and the Statute, violates constitutional principles. Consequently, the court ruled these norms are both materially and organically unconstitutional.
