Resumen
Este artículo ofrece un análisis crítico, contextual y comparativo de la sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemán (TCFA) de 5 de mayo de 2020, en la que este último se opone frontalmente a la autoridad del Tribunal de Justicia de la UE (TJUE) y valora las actuaciones del Banco Central Europeo (BCE). Para comprender la decisión, las autoras reconstruyen la evolución del papel del BCE en la gobernanza económica dentro de la eurozona, con particular referencia a las medidas de compra de bonos soberanos en los mercados secundarios estrenadas a raíz de la crisis financiera. Se centran en la jurisprudencia correspondiente del TJUE, cuestionada por el TCFA, y finalmente reflexionan sobre los conflictos entre ordenamientos nacionales y tribunales supra e internacionales a la luz del panorama comparado y global.
