Public Hearings Become Alibi to Try to Validate New Civil Code Without Effective Analysis
Jurists point out that the New Civil Code hearings have become a formal rite incapable of examining a broad reform.
TL;DR
- Public hearings on the Civil Code reform are deemed insufficient due to the proposal's vast scope (nearly 1,200 articles).
- The current format involves short presentations by jurists and general remarks by rapporteurs, lacking in-depth debate and a consolidated text showing incorporated amendments.
- Sixty-four legal and business entities have signed a manifesto opposing the current year's approval, citing a lack of consensus, urgency, and justification.
- Critics argue that the process prioritizes speed over thorough examination, with some suggesting the proposal is fundamentally flawed.
- Despite criticisms, proponents aim to conclude the analysis by the end of the legislative year, though the text remains unconsolidated.
