Citizens can’t petition the Constitutional Court directly. A judge has to refer the question, and only in a real case where the law applies. That’s why this route starts with a lawsuit.

Step 2: the judge decides if constitutional question is “relevant” & “not manifestly unfounded”. If so, the case is suspended & a reasoned order sends the question to the Constitutional Court. (This is why several people will do this in different courts: it increases chances of one judge sending it)
