The Parliament has established March 6th as the deadline for passing the sub-legal acts, which enable the decriminalization law.
The constitutionality of these acts was set in question by the Parliament itself. Top Channel has secured the document of the Parliament’s legal office which warns the Regulatory Council that the draft-decision is against the constitution.
The legal office says that the draft-decision has the features of a normative act with power throuh the entire country. It goes outside the competences of the Parliament. The press office says that the Parliament cannot exert its constitutional function through draft-decisions, but through laws.
As for the content, the legal office notes that this draft-decision that will be voted with a simple majority gives the Prosecution tasks that they can carry out only through a law.
The opinion of the legal office for the Council of Mandates comes in a time when the Democratic and Socialist parties have failed with negotiations for consensus on the asset self-declaration application form, which is the main sub-legal act that is proposed to be approved with the draft-decision.
Besides the Parliament’s legal office, another negative opinion for the constitutionality of these acts was given by the Ministry of Justice. The session of the Legislative Council this afternoon will show if the decriminalization law will pass or if it will enter another stalemate.
