This comment addresses the paper presented by Maribel González Pascual which aims to reveal the Spanish and Portuguese Constitutional Courts' role regarding the so-called “austerity measures”, and therefore also focuses on the courts' judicial reasoning. It analyses the role that “Euro-crisis law” has played in both courts' reasoning, and the economic crisis' role in shaping case law regarding social rights in both countries.

Keywords : Jurisprudence of crisis; constitutional courts; Euro-crisis law; adjudication of social rights.
