19 NGOs ask for a public debate on the final draft bill for revising the Constitution<\/p>\n
03.02.14<\/p>\n
\n
The signatory organizations ask the Joint Committee of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate in charge with drafting the revised Constitution of Romania to use the good practices provided by Law no. 52\/2003 on transparency and to place the current form of the draft Constitution under public debate, for at least 30 days after publication.<\/p>\n
The current form of the draft law, including observations from both the Legislative Council and the Venice Commission, has not been published. So the public only has access to a series of clandestine and unverified versions.<\/p>\n
Since this is not some secret weapon, but a draft law to review the national constitution, the signatory organizations consider that keeping it secret and refusing public debate is totally unjustified.<\/p>\n
The signatories remind that the principles of transparency and public consultation are essential to the normal functioning of a democratic society. Therefore, they ask the Parliament to observe these crucial principles of a state of law and place the updated draft Constitution in front of the society, for a real debate.<\/p>\n
