Parliamentary initiative to legislate in Algeria: between legal controls and the hegemony of the executive authority
Main Article Content
Abstract
The initiative to legislate is considered to be the first legal procedure whose completion leads to the making of the law, but parliamentarians share this right with the government despite the fact that Parliament is considered to have the initial competence in matters of legislation, which translates into weak parliamentary initiative and poor performance by parliamentarians in the legislative process. Consequently, any future constitutional amendment must remedy this situation and be supplemented by the modification of the organic law regulating the relations between the government and the two chambers of Parliament, as well as the rules of procedure of the two chambers of Parliament.
