Desde hace poco más de un lustro, por vez primera en nuestra historia democrática, el derecho de los parlamentarios a recabar documentación de las administraciones públicas se ha judicializado en la vía contencioso-administrativa.Un cúmulo de casos con un único foco común: las tensas relaciones gobierno-parlamento en el ámbito de la Comunitat Valenciana. Dicha conflictividad ha dado lugar, en el transcurso de estos años, a un elevado número de resoluciones tanto del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana como del Tribunal Supremo. Un total de más de cuarenta sentencias que han incidido de forma considerable en la delimitación de este derecho. El presente artículo examina dichas resoluciones judiciales y ofrece un análisis global de los criterios interpretativos contenidos en las mismas. Una tarea de exégesis que se ha realizado sin perder de vista la jurisprudencia dictada por el Tribunal Constitucional acerca de esta misma cuestión.
For just over five years, for the first time in our democratic history, the right of parliamentarians to collect documentation from public administrations has been judicialized in the contentious-administrative way. A cluster of cases with a single common focus: tense government-parliament relations in the Valencian Community. This conflict has led, in the course of these years, to a high number of resolutions of both the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community and the Supreme Court. A total of more than forty sentences that have had a considerable impact on the delimitation of this right. This article examines these judicial resolutions and offers a global analysis of the interpretive criteria contained in them. A task of exegesis that has been carried out without losing sight of the jurisprudence dictated by the Constitutional Court on this same issue.Summary:1. Introduction. 2. The jurisprudential interpretation of this right: Recent applications (and modulations) by the jurisdiction contentious-administrative doctrinal criteria consolidated in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. 2.1. Typology and defining elements of this right. 2.2. Potentially conflicting situations derived of the exercise of this right. 3. Its jurisdictional guarantee. 3.1. Plurality of ways to satisfy this right. 3.2. Reference to a controversial procedural issue: Is the contentious-administrative jurisdiction competent to judge this type of government acts? 3.3. Additional considerations on «effectiveness» and «suitability» of the jurisdictional guarantee of this right. 4. A final note about the (potential) abusive exercise of this right. 5. Jurisprudential Annex.
