Abstract

This article analyzes the main constitutional issues raised around the parliamentary activity performed during the 316 days of incumbent government. This period of interim had spanned two different legislatures and had meant a great variety of situations never before experienced in our democracy. Special consideration is given to the extension of the accountability and legislative initiative available to our Parliament in this Executive’s interim period. We will also deal in particular with the question of the scope of the Government’s power to accord to parliamentary legislative initiatives when increasing credit or decreasing revenues.
