Since 2007 there has been a new legal condition for admissibility of a constitutional complaint — the special constitutional signifi cance (la especial trascendencia constitucional) of which determines the right to protect rights in the amparo procedure. It was introduced as a remedy for the institutional crisis of the Constitutional Court. In this article the author presents the causes of the crisis of the amparo in Spain and also the reasons for which the legislature passed a bill reforming the proceedings before the Constitutional Court of Spain. In the following part the article focuses on the basic directions of changes of the Law on the Constitutional Court. In particular, it discusses the new condition of the special constitutional signifi cance of the constitutional complaint, which is assessed from the point of view of the signifi cance of the Constitutional Court’s judgment for the entire legal system. In the article the author presents the case-law of the Constitutional Court on this matter. Assessing the reform introduced, the author indicates its negative consequences and argues that the new legal regulation has led to restrictions on the right to submit a constitutional complaint.
