Constitutional amendment in The wrong reform
French government wants to change the constitution in order to facilitate the anti-terror fight. But so far the project provides mainly for one thing: controversy in all the camps.
You should very big state theaters offer as like the French: France in consequence of the Paris attacks planned on 13 November constitutional reform. But now it threatens to end in a cacophony which discredits the country's democracy.
"The exceptional situation requires us foresight," struck a combative Prime Minister Manuel Valls the deputies of the French National Assembly a Friday morning. He recalled the Versailles oath of its president, François Hollande: Three days after the attacks of Paris had this in Congress of Versailles promised to do everything that serves the security of the French. So, as Valls today, one might even before the "base of democracy", the Constitution, do not stop.
The reform presented by Valls scheduled to replace the inconsistent state of emergency regulations from different eras. This is a consensus.but you should write to withdrawal of citizenship for terrorists in the Constitution. A first vote in the National Assembly is scheduled for Wednesday. Later polls follow the Senate and the Congress. This controversy in the coming days is guaranteed.
The deprivation of nationality stands for the Vichy regime and was "a traumatism our history," the Greens parliamentary leader Cécile Duflot spoke to MPs promptly opposed the reform. "Vichy is not the republic," replied her an angry Valls.
resigned Minister of Justice for reform
That was the understandable part of the debate. The rest but hardly understands a normal Frenchman more. Because it comes to legal contradictions of reform that can not explain even the former Socialist Minister of Justice and Constitutional Council President Robert Badinter.
Badinter, actually the living legal conscience of the ruling Socialists, therefore advises the public on the constitutional reform. Your main problem: it creates either stateless, which does not allow even the UN Human Rights Declaration. Or it creates two classes of French: those with dual nationality, where you can escape the French, and those with simpler nationality, which they can not escape.
Because they can not be contradictions dissolve legally, occurred a week ago already, the French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira back .It was followed by a call to the gathered intelligence Paris against the reform, the (right) signed the National ways Jacques Attali (left) and Luc Ferry. So who should still raise their hands for the president and his prime minister finally realized that they had to wrong track?
comments
A terrorist would thus lose French nationality. Is this a draconian punishment?
Would not a tightening of criminal acts of terrorism much more sense? "
One should reform constitutions only for reasons of principle.
Example:
GG Art. 1 para. 1 would be binding on the legislation and not only the following lt. Art. 1 para. 3
Furthermore, also GG Art. 79 para. 3 would be unalterable.
In addition, one would have to base (ge) s (a / e) clarify suddenly that the first 20 articles all have the same weight!
Something would be a meaningful constitutional reform. Everything else should be treated with extreme caution!
