DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. 26 /XI

CONSTITUTION OF AN EVENTUAL COMMISSION FOR THE

POLITICAL MONITORING OF THE PHENOMENON OF CORRUPTION AND

FOR THE INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF SOLUTIONS WITH A VIEW TO YOUR

COMBAT

Exhibition of reasons

The Portuguese wants to live in democracy. But they are manifested, amitelehealth,

dissatisfied with the quality of our democracy.

It is therefore incumbents on us, as the holders of the sovereignty body Assembly of the

Republic the responsibility to realize the signals arriving from society

and of all we do to debelch them and overtake.

It is in this framework that the challenge of combating corruption is to be met. A combat

civic and citizenship. A combat that must be waged in the name of the

ethical dimension of democratic culture, in favor of the moralization of life

public and in the defence of the institutions of our Democratic State.

Corruption undermines and corrodes democracy, being even one of the scourges that

more alienates people from the democratic ideal and a political coexistence

sadia and responsible.

It should therefore pay special attention to the years-ls of society and be

firm in the realization of a policy that contributes to the cancellation of this

phenomenon.

The Social Democratic Party considers that the Assembly of the Republic has to

take on consistent intervention in this matter. We cannot consent

that the Assembly is only the stage of one-off interventions, without

consequences and that, unfortunately, in many cases are only demagogic.

It is therefore necessary for the constitution of an eventual commission exclusively

intended for the collection of contributions, the political analysis of events and the

presentation of solutions for combating corruption.

It is not, obviously, to interfere with or pressure legal proceedings in

course, nor will you have the mission to replace yourself with the recent created Council

of Prevention of Corruption.

It is, yes, to hold the Assembly of the Republic accountable for the

political monitoring of the phenomenon of corruption with the aim of creating,

harmonize and strengthen the measures that aim to combat it.

The Assembly of the Republic cannot alhear from what is currently going on

in our Country in this regard and have even a duty to help build a

society where corruption is of the most difficult occurrence and relentlessly

combatated so that there is no place to feelings of impunity.

In these terms, and following the announced on the past November 24,

in the Parliamentary Journals held in Espinho, the Parliamentary Group of the

Social Democratic Party presents, under the provisions of articles 166º, n.

5, and 178º, paragraph 1, of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic and of Article 37º of the

Rules of the Assembly of the Republic, the following draft resolution:
