As the curtain falls on the Parliament's session, the scene does not look like a victory as much as it poses an open-ended question: what has actually been achieved? Behind the density of laws and the clamor of sessions, a sharper reality emerges: legislation progressing rapidly against a clear oversight vacuum. Even the evaluations of the MPs themselves vary, making the final outcome closer to a state of "activity without impact." Here, the problem is not the volume of work but its direction; when the Council turns into a machine for passing laws without parallel oversight, the equation becomes skewed, and parliamentary work loses one of its most fundamental roles. Most dangerously, this defect is no longer hidden; it has become a matter of admission from within the Council itself, which doubles the scale of the problem rather than alleviating it. Despite their differing political rhetoric, the parliamentary blocs’ assessments converge at a near-constant point: the weakness of the oversight role compared to the legislative one—ranging from those who speak of tangible legislative achievements to those who admit that oversight remained limited or almost absent.

On the legislative front, the question is no longer about the number of laws, but rather their quality and depth. Between narratives asserting that committee discussions were profound and others indicating haste in passing certain laws, more telling facts emerge—most notably the re-amendment of some legislation during the same session or its return with substantial changes from other authorities. This raises question marks about the initial preparation phase. Legislation, after all, is not merely a temporal response but a legal construction process that should be based on deliberation and precision, as its impact directly and long-term affects the lives of citizens.
On the other hand, the weakness of partisan activity emerges as a factor that deepens the crisis instead of resolving it. While parties are expected to produce cohesive blocs capable of formulating clear positions, reality still points to an overwhelming individual presence within the Council and limited coordination between blocs. This directly reflects on the fragmentation of positions and the weakened capacity for organized legislative influence; collective vision disappears, and an individual character dominates the general performance.
As for the parliamentary committees, which are supposed to be the "true kitchen of legislation," they presented a similarly mixed picture—between committees that worked with seriousness and depth, and others that seemed more rushed in completing files. This disparity is not about the tools available but reflects the absence of a unified standard for measuring the quality of work within them, which ultimately impacts the final legislative product that reaches the floor.
However, the most sensitive indicator remains the oversight aspect, where a clear gap appears between quantity and results. Hundreds of parliamentary questions that were never discussed, inquiries that remained without actual effect, and limited oversight sessions compared to the volume of files presented—all these elements pose a direct, unavoidable question: How can a council legislate at this volume without activating its oversight with the same degree of strength and regularity? The irony is that some MPs themselves do not deny this reality; rather, they explicitly call for a reordering of priorities, expanding the scope of oversight, and activating accountability tools more regularly. This reflects an internal realization that the flaw is not in the diagnosis, but in the mechanisms of treatment.
Ultimately, the image cannot be reduced to a single color. There is a legislative effort that cannot be denied, but it is countered by a clear weakness in oversight, a disparity in the quality of performance, and confusion in prioritizing speed over depth. These elements make the final result closer to a "half-experience" than a complete parliamentary system.
Many questions linger in my mind as a citizen: It’s not just about how many laws were passed, but what is their actual impact? Did the Council fully exercise its role as a legislative and oversight authority, or did it settle for half the task under the pressure of quantitative achievement?
