The Constitutional Court granted the Public Prosecutor's appeal to revoke the lower court's declaration of unconstitutionality regarding Article 10(2) of the Municipal Waste Posture. The challenged norm regulated the public waste and hygiene system in Paredes, which the lower court had struck down based on prior reasoning. The court decided to uphold the municipal provision, thereby rejecting the argument that the waste management rules violated constitutional principles.
