Armouti
noted that
measures imposed under the defense orders are no longer in place, as
evidenced by the holding of festivals and gatherings under government auspices.
“There was no need to activate the Defense Law in the first place, as the laws in force were sufficient to deal with the pandemic…”
“There was
no need to
activate the Defense Law in the first place, as the laws in force
were sufficient to deal with the pandemic, and various countries of the world
were able to respond to it without the need for defense laws,” he said.
Power
imbalance“It should
not be permissible for one person to
issue defense orders that obstruct the
workings of all other laws," Armouti added.
"Not a country in the whole world suspends their laws and constitution for three whole years and leaves the issuance of decisions to a single person.”
The MP
stressed that the government should respect the principle of separation of
powers. Moreover, the defense orders, he argued, did not prevent worker layoffs
“without any real government protection”.
"Not a
country in the whole world suspends their laws and constitution for three whole
years and leaves the issuance of decisions to a single person,” he said.
“Rather, all countries have dealt with the
pandemic using the laws already in
force."
