(Case T-352/23)
(2023/C 321/58)
Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: Pedro Verdeja Muñiz (Madrid, Spain) (represented by: F. Verdeja González, lawyer)

Defendant: European Central Bank

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul all the decisions of the European Central Bank (‘the ECB’) from 21 July 2022 until 15 September 2023 raising the Euribor and intervening in the finance and mortgage market without protecting the applicant as a debtor;










—


order the ECB to adopt fiscal measures so that the Euribor applicable to the applicant’s mortgage debt is maintained at its level before the decision of 14 April 2022, and to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on four pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, based on the legal premiss that the applicant cannot and must not challenge the decisions of the ECB.










2.


Second plea in law, based on the legal premiss that the ECB must not cause price rises, contrary to Article 282(2) TFEU.










3.


Third plea in law, based on the legal premiss that the ECB must not obstruct market freedom, pursuant to Article 127(1) TFEU.










4.


Fourth plea in law based on the legal premiss that the ECB must take effective measures to protect against increases in the Euribor.
