Summary: |
Our democracy needs the legislative impulse of citizens to improve their representation. Forty years after the popular initiative law (LO 3/1984), the instrument of participation still plays a secondary role in Spain. In this way, only four initiatives have been approved in Parliament (with many changes); the causes of failure are the censored topics, and a high number of signatures required (Article 87.3 of Spanish Constitution). In fact, 37% of initiatives were declared inadmissible, and also 37% did not reach the signature limit. However, since 2011 more initiatives have been presented in Parliament. Therefore, it’s necessary to analyze this context.
