Dr. Laura Cappuccio, a specialist in constitutional law, invites us to reflect on the use of decree-laws as a legislative tool within democratic frameworks. In this knowledge capsule, based on her talk as part of the Un Cafè de Dret series, she examines the limits of this mechanism and its impact on the quality of parliamentary debate.
Dr. Cappuccio raises key questions: Is the use of decree-laws truly justified in urgent situations? Can this resource become a shortcut that weakens institutional checks and balances and bypasses normal legislative procedures?
A compelling proposal that opens the debate on governance, transparency, and the balance between legislative efficiency and democratic quality in modern parliamentary systems.
