III. Legal opinion
C. Is the revision procedure in conformity with European rules and standards?
On the conformity with the democratic principles
- The right to free elections (Article 3 Protocol 1 to the ECHR)
It has been asserted that spreading the revision of the Constitution over two legislatures is a democratic minimum. The supporters of the revision within a single legislature demonstrate an authoritarian tendency „[l]e fait d’étaler la révision de la Constitution sur deux législatures est un minimum démocratique. Les partisans de la révision au sein d’une seule et même législature font preuve d’une dérive autoritariste.“ |
