The draft law for the way how justice institutions will be governed is
one of the biggest from the Justice Reform, with 198 articles. But, for
the Democratic Party, this law has also more Constitutional violations
than any other draft so far.
The opposition listed 11 articles in which they say the Constitution has been violated. They even claim this law challenges the seriousness of the majority in implementing the Constitution and for even standing to political agreements.
In this case, it is about the agreement of July 21st, which placed in the Constitution the principle for selecting the ten members appointed by the Parliament for the Supreme Justice and Prosecution Councils.
The opposition says the law has a flagrant constitutional deformation, since it strips the Parliament of the exclusivity to appoint these members.
The DP says the law eliminates the constitutional criterion of open competition for a specific profession, bringing back the former amendment, which gives a Chamber of Lawyers or a gathering of university professors the right to propose these candidates.
For the DP, this is not acceptable. The opposition says that this strips the President of the right to organize the lots for choosing the members of the Justice Apointing Council, and that there are at least four other cases related to the four new justice institutions, which is the objective of the law in question.
