His lawyer, Me Cheikh Amadou Ndiaye, stated that the appeal does not dispute the content of the reform but rather the conditions of its adoption. Me Ndiaye argues that a procedural defect could lead to the annulment of the text, regardless of its content, emphasizing that a constitutional law must adhere strictly to the procedural requirements outlined in the Constitution.

Inter Miami is reportedly interested in signing Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha, with Lionel Messi's influence playing a role in the potential transfer. According to Marca, the 40-year-old goalkeeper's performances during the World Cup, particularly against Messi's Argentina, caught the attention of the club's management. David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, and Lionel Messi are reportedly in favor of bringing in Vozinha, viewing him as an experienced player who could bring stability to the team. Vozinha is currently a free agent after his contract with GD Chaves ended on June 30, making him an attractive prospect for Inter Miami as no transfer fee would be involved. Joining Inter Miami would offer Vozinha the opportunity to continue his career in a growing league and play alongside Lionel Messi, which could be a significant factor in his decision.
