Voting in the subheading package, Cakoli: This way of voting was rejected by those today who pushed ahead

Eugen Cakoli from KDI reacted after the decision was made that at the Constituve session the vice-presidents vote should take place in packages.

Through a Facebook post, Cakolli wrote that such a vote is in line with the constitutional framework, reports IndexOnline.

Moreover, voting in the package has clear institutional logic and has been functional solutions in the past. This speeds up the institution and forces political responsibility to be divided among all parliamentary groups”, Calcoli wrote.

According to him, however, the very practice they had been looking for last year was rejected by the “at that today pushed forward, even presented as a principled problem”.

At today's preparation meeting for the Constituent session, we have agreed that vice presidents will be voted into packages. Not only the community, but all five vice-presidents of the Assembly.

This way of voting is in line with the constitutional framework, as the Constitutional Court has left the voting technique in the discretion of the Parliament itself, as long as the rights of the proposal are respected and the majority needed for elections.

Moreover, voting in the package has clear institutional logic and has been functional solutions in the past. This speeds up the institution and forces political responsibility to be divided among all parliamentary groups. Ironically, though, the very practice we had been looking for last year was opposed by those who today pushed forward, even presented itself as a principled problem.

All of this shows that parliamentary practices take meaning from the way they are used. When they serve to advance the constitutionalisation and functioning of the Assembly, they remain legitimate means of parliamentary order. /Periscopi/
