Aiming to make all members more aware and responsible for participating in the legislative process by increasing the presence of direct democracy in our system;

Parliament will be obliged to amend the text, vote on it a second time, and finally submit it to a second referendum. If no majority is reached, then the proposal shall be automatically erased. If the outcome of the referendum is successful for the proposal, the Act will be send to the President for final approval.
