Enough

At stake is the expression of the principle of democratic legitimation of power


Formally, the reform of the election of mayors will be processed as a reform of the organic law, but physically it is a decree law adopted by the Government. The content of the standard is decided at its core, as well as the date of its entry into force. In May of 2015 the mayors shall be designated by the formula that the Government has determined. No one can be deceived. This is the second time in recent months that the PP decides to approve an organic law of a constitutional nature apart from all other political parties. The first was the Organic Law 4/2014, of July 11, by which it was introduced in our legal system for the first time in history the Spanish constitutional aforamiento the king after his abdication. Smuggling, through a "flop", as it slipped the president of the Congress, the PP resolved this matter, which would have required the approval of the Organic Law provided for in article 57.5 of the Constitution. With the pretense of reforming the system of election of mayors, the PP is at the gates of repeat the operation. Since the entry into force of the Constitution in 1978, the formula for the designation of the governing body has been the same for all three levels at which articulates our political system. The citizens elect directly to the deputies in the Congress or in the Parliament of the autonomous community, and the Councillors in the municipalities, and these elect the president of the Government, the president of the Autonomous Community and mayor. This is our Constitution representative, which has not been seen excepcionada in force at any time. Legal Status of the king after his abdication. Formula of expression of the principle of democratic legitimacy in the renewal of the municipal power. There are two matters of constitutional significance indisputable, that, by its very nature, cannot be left out of what is understood as constitutional consensus. The first was outside the July 11. The second is about to be left out in the coming months. Major Parts of our constitutional system are going to be the result of a decision of a single match. In my opinion, the issue has such gravity that would require that the opposition parties refused to participate in the mock negotiation that is offering the Government. The parties should announce who declined to take part in the parliamentary process of reform. Frontal rejection to the project or proposal of law at the time of lodging in the Congress registration. And nothing more. Or submission of amendments, or participation in the debate in committee and in full, as well as in the vote. The opposition parties should not give parliamentary cover to what is a bankruptcy of the constitutional consensus. What is at stake is the expression of the principle of democratic legitimation of power, which is intended to alter for the first time since the restoration of democracy after the death of General Franco. It is a moment to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
