(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 21 - A letter-appeal signed by 37 constitutionalists and addressed to the presidents of the chambers asking to unblock the impasse on the Copasir presidency, not yet assigned to the opposition after the birth of the Draghi government, despite the law .
In the document, the reflections of constitutional law, public law and political science scholars including Gianfranco Pasquino and Piero Ignazi, which will be illustrated in a press conference scheduled for 12 in the Senate. "In contemporary pluralist democracies the separation of powers, one of the cornerstones of the rule of law, necessarily declines also as a guarantee of the oppositions and their constitutional role", is the beginning of the letter. In relation to the Parliamentary Security Committee, article 30 of law no. 124, on the composition and election of the Copasir president. And he adds: "Following the formation of the Draghi government and the aggregation of the very large parliamentary majority that supports the same executive in both branches of Parliament,the guarantee structure clearly envisaged by the legislator is altered. The law, regulations and parliamentary praxis require a representative of the opposition to sit in the chairmanship of Copasir, while two months after the new executive takes office, the supervisory and guarantee body of the Information and Security Services continues to be chaired by a member of the parliamentary majority " .the control and guarantee body of the Information and Security Services continues to be chaired by a member of the parliamentary majority ".the control and guarantee body of the Information and Security Services continues to be chaired by a member of the parliamentary majority ".
Hence the final request with the hope to the presidents of the Chamber and Senate who, taking note that the appeal for a political solution has unfortunately not had the desired follow-up, undertake, by virtue of the authority that derives from their role as first Guarantors observance of the parliamentary norms within the Chambers, all those necessary initiatives, which, even on the basis of similar precedents, can restore the conditions of constitutional legality in the best interest of the good performance of parliamentary activity ".
