description
Citizens’ initiative for referendum is the power attributed to a number of citizens or to a percentage of them to trigger a referendum concerning a political question of general interest or a legislative text, thus giving the electorate the decision regarding its relevance, approval or repeal. Unlike initiatives for referendum attributed to sub-central entities in some composite states and initiatives granted to parliamentary minorities, citizens’ initiative for referendum is generally acknowledged in comparative law. Where introduced, citizens’ initiative for referendum is used to tackle the passivity or lack of receptiveness of legislators and to promote the adoption of constitutional or legislative reforms; it can also be used to control and correct the result of parliamentary processes involved in the formation of the general will. In this study, we will analyse the comparative regulation and practice of citizens’ initiatives whose purpose is the holding of propositional referendums concerning rules and decisions of national importance, the ratification of voted but not enacted laws and the repeal of laws in force. We will also study the attempts to regulate citizens’ initiatives in Spain, paying special attention to the proposal for constitutional reform approved by the General Board of the Principality of Asturias, which is still pending consideration.

A diferencia de la iniciativa de referéndum atribuida a los entes subcentrales en algunos Estados compuestos y de la iniciativa otorgada a las minorías parlamentarias, el reconocimiento de la iniciativa popular de referéndum está bastante extendido en el Derecho comparado. Donde está instituida, sirve para enfrentar la pasividad o falta de receptividad de los legisladores e impulsar la adopción de reformas constitucionales o legislativas. Y puede servir para controlar y corregir el resultado de los procesos parlamentarios de formación de la voluntad general. En este trabajo analizamos la regulación comparada de las iniciativas populares que tienen por objeto la convocatoria de referéndums propositivos sobre normas y decisiones de transcendencia nacional, de ratificación de leyes votadas y no sancionadas y de abrogación de leyes en vigor. También abordamos los intentos de regulación de la iniciativa popular de referéndum habidos en España, con especial atención a la proposición de reforma constitucional aprobada por la Junta General del Principado de Asturias, aún pendiente de toma en consideración.2019text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6933161(Revista) ISSN 1139-5583Teoría y realidad constitucional, ISSN 1139-5583, Nº 43, 2019, pags. 317-345spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
