The article discusses the creation and constitutional status of the Economic and Social Council (CES) as envisioned in Article 131.2 of the Spanish Constitution. Initially, the article highlights the long-standing debate over the inconstitucionalidad por omisión (inescapable omission) of the CES due to the lack of legislative development required by the Constitution. However, the author, José Luis García Ruiz, argues that the CES is indeed the council referred to in Article 131.2, despite the initial intention to create it under Articles 105 and 9.2. The article reconstructs the historical process leading to the CES's creation, including the debates in Parliament and the proposals from various political forces. It also analyzes the constitutional framework and the evolution of similar councils in other European countries. The author concludes that the CES created in 1991 is indeed the one envisioned in Article 131.2, despite the initial legislative focus on planning and consultation roles. The article is accompanied by an appendix detailing the regional CESs created up to the time of writing.The article discusses the creation and constitutional status of the Economic and Social Council (CES) as envisioned in Article 131.2 of the Spanish Constitution.
