The delegitimization of Parliament has come about in two steps. The Government, that should govern, has in fact substituted the parliamentary activity and it is making laws using legal decrees. provisional measures that have the force of law, that should be adopted ONLY in extraordinary situations if the Government has a need or urgency, in accordance with the what is laid down in art. 77 of the Constitution. The second step came with the direct appointment of the parliamentarians by the party secretaries thanks to the „Porcellum” {pigswill law}. The parties have occupied Parliament with cardboard cut-outs and they have taken away its legislative function. If this not is a coup, then what is?
