The deputies on the left announced on Wednesday, May 7, having seized the Constitutional Council against many articles of the “drug trafficking” law adopted in Parliament, which, according to them, “weighs serious threats to our rule of law.”
Supported by elected officials, environmentalists and rebel communists, a first appeal in particular the very commented creation of high security districts in prisons for the most dangerous traffickers.
The deputies ask the council to hearing the article with this measure, which has become emblematic, introduced in the Committee of the Assembly: the most dangerous traffickers, by decision of the guardian of the stamps, would be assigned in these new districts, under certain conditions.
“Legislative Rider”
This regime provides, among other things, complete excavations supervised in case of unattended contacts of an agent. But applicants see it as a “legislative rider”, without sufficient link with the initial text, which contained in accordance with their appeal “without disposition related to the penitentiary regime.”
For merit, they blame him for a writing too vague, especially in his ambition to “warn the search or establishment of links” with criminal networks.
“The text does not specify the nature or intensity of the ‘links’ to prevent”, they criticize, judging that it also contravenes “to human dignity” by providing a “systematization of integral excavations without sufficient supervision.”
Another article refers: the experimentation of the use of algorithmic intelligence against drug trafficking, an already authorized technique against foreign terrorism and interference, but that deputies consider a “private life attack” disproportionately.
A second appeal presented by the rebel
The deputies also request the censorship of other measures, such as the remote activation of an electronic device to carry out the listening or prohibition of appearing a maximum month in places related to traffic activities.
The creation of a separate report (“cutting”) so as not to disseminate certain information to traffickers and their lawyers, is also attacked, the deputies consider it contrary to the “defense rights” and a “fair trial.”
The rebels have presented a second appeal, which especially indicates the creation of an antiestructure national parquet, an important measure of the text, but according to them to “create inequalities of treatment between the litigants” contrary to the Constitution.
They also denounce the conditions of the administrative closure of the suspicious companies of money laundering, the power conferred to the prefects. If they judge it, contrary to certain principles, such as the “freedom to undertake”, they also believe that “the lack of judicial control” undermines “the principle of separation of powers.”
