El principio de prevalencia del Derecho estatal sobre el Derecho autonómico ha sido mínimamente utilizado por el Tribunal Constitucional que ha desperdiciado todas sus posibilidades. Ello ha tenido lamentables consecuencias. Las peores se han manifestado en la jurisprudencia constitucional reciente, de la que es acabado ejemplo la STC 66/2011, que merma gravemente la capacidad del legislador estatal para imponer efectivamente reformas. Frente a ello, aquí se destaca la necesidad, fundamento e importancia del principio de prevalencia. Se sostiene que urge restablecerlo en toda su dimensión y operatividad. Asimismo, se precisa su función, alcance y efectos según la clase de conflictos que se presenten.
The Spanish Constitutional Court has barely applied the principle of the State law taking precedence over the Law of the Autonomous Communities. Therefore, the High Court has missed out the potential of this principle. This behaviour has had unfortunate conse-quences, which are to be seen in the most recent constitutional case law, whose best example is the Judgment 66/2011. This Judgment limits the capacity of the Legislative power to efectively impose reforms. In this paper the author states the need and ignificance of the principle of the State law taking precedence over autonomous law, as well as its legal foundation. He also argues that this principle should be re-established in its whole dimension and effectivity. Finally, the author analyses the function, scope and effects of the aforementioned principle according to the type of conflict it tries to solve.
