Abstract

La iniciativa legislativa popular constituye una herramienta de participación ciudadana en los asuntos públicos. Su fin no es otro sino obligar a las Cámaras a que se pronuncien acerca de diferentes cuestiones que, en un momento dado, la sociedad considera relevantes. Sin embargo, la configuración que de este mecanismo se ha hecho en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, tanto a nivel constitucional como legal, merma considerablemente la eficacia de este instrumento participativo. Este trabajo trata de analizar, precisamente, cuáles son esas resistencias jurídicas proponiendo, en la medida de la posible, ciertos remedios para combatirlas.

The popular legislative initiative is a participative tool of the citizenship in public affairs. Its aim is no other than to oblige the Parliament to discuss about different matters that society, at any one time, consider relevant. However, the legal configuration this mechanism holds in the Spanish legal system, both at constitutional and legal levels, reduces notably the efficacy of this participative tool. This paper aims to analyse which are those resistances, proposing, as far as possible, certain remedies in order to overcome them.
