In its justification, the magistrates point out that the regulation is incompatible with the state system of protection in cases of non-payment due to necessity and, therefore, declares that Parliament has overstepped its authority and invaded competencies. The ruling does not, for now, mean immediate cuts, as there is a moratorium in force at the Spanish level that prevents these basic services from being cut off until December 31.</p>]]></description>
