The origin of indirizzo's powers: his transformations Francisco Tortolero Cervantes

Abstract

Majorities rule in democracy. However, there are
constitutional mechanisms to direct and limit powers
of that majority. The reactivity of the system in the absence of
popular support in favor of a government. The examples are not
few (Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, Mohamed Morsi in Egypt,
Tayyip Erdogan in Türkiye or even Beppe Grillo in Italy). The
popular discontents seem to find different ways
substantive measures to raise your voice and change the policy of the current
government. These changes become more acute depending on the regime
presidential than parliamentary. Political responsibility
finds lightning-fast solutions to the lack of legitimacy of the
governments emanating from the parliamentary system. But that class
of responsibility is almost impossible to make effective in
terms of the presidential system. The Italians built the
notion of indirizzo to explain the strength or weakness of the
conduct of those governmental powers. And they declined
a part of its scope to refer to driving
(constitutional) carried out by constitutional courts
against the powers of the government (read, the majority).
Perhaps this concept can help us in Latin America to
find ways to hold our rulers accountable.
