Govt tables legislation determining procedure to ban certain referenda

0

The government adopted an amendment to the referendum act that prescribes the National Assembly’s course of action in case of a referendum initiative challenging a law that cannot be challenged under the constitution, which would include laws imposing measures designed to curb the Covid-19 epidemic.

The amendment, which the government wants to be rushed through parliament, seeks to implement the constitutional regulation of the legislative referendum of 2013 in terms of procedure. The constitutional amendments passed in 2013 ban referenda on laws vital to the country’s defence and security or dealing with natural disasters.
