Annuities, the warning of former parliamentarians: if you approve the reform, we will denounce you

The document specifies the complaints concerning abuse of office, "since the office has an administrative function".
The subject should instead be regulated by law. "A resolution – to write the old – determines in itself a personal and patrimonial responsibility for the damages.The resolution can not have the general characteristics of the law."

On Thursday, July 5th, the deadlines to submit amendments to the reform proposal presented by the Bureau, the body chaired by Roberto Fico (M5s), expire. who had announced the approval of the provision before July 13th.

Former parliamentarians immediately threatened a clbad action. So much so that the League representatives in the Bureau had asked President Fico to prepare a legal opinion before proceeding to the approval of the resolution. One way to protect oneself from possible causes

According to former parliamentarians, "the resolution that the Bureau is preparing to approve is unconstitutional, illegitimate and illegal". Many pro veritate opinions of distinguished constitutional experts, numerous hearings held in the previous legislature, the Chamber of Deputies and especially the Senate have expressed unanimous views of unconstitutionality for a provision that proposes to intervene retroactively. The non-retroactivity of the law is a fundamental prinipipation of the rule of law of all democratic countries, especially Italy and Europe No law has ever violated this principle and, more importantly, this principle can not be challenged by the Bureau of Parliament, an organizational and administrative body. "

" No law approved by Parliament to amend the Social Security Law has ever challenged the rights already retroactively mature citizens. Indeed, the pension reforms that have taken place over the years, from the Dini in 1995 to the Fornero in 2011, have all defended the rights of citizens who have reached maturity before their entry into force. Until now, only future rights have been changed (Fornero law, for example), ie economic improvements that may be affected at certain times in the life of the country. "

" Doing it for former parliamentarians would only have a punitive sense. delegitimation and humiliation of the parliamentary function which is free and independent. "

The only form of intervention on the salaries of social security" recognized by the Constitutional Court in various sentences is that of the solidarity contribution. a dangerous precedent that endangers the rule of law and opens the way for the reduction of pensions of Italians. "

" The Association reports "to the Bureau that an illegitimate and unconstitutional resolution in itself determines a liability personal and property claims for damages", since "the resolution may not have the characteristics of generality proper to the law ". According to former parliamentarians, members of the Bureau can not even hide behind the indisputable, since it is an act committed "outside Parliament".
