The problems and the solutions of historical, political and juridical appreciation of communist totalitarian regime and symbolic (sickle and hammer) [Articol]

Abstract

On July the 12th, 2012, the Parliament approved the decision on historical, political and juridical appreciation of communist totalitarian regime and symbolic (sickle and hammer). Later on July the 19th, 2012, it was moved forward as a legislative initiative the Law on amendment and some legislative acts (the Law on political parties, the Law on freedom of speech and the Law on public symbols). In our case, the project of Law proposes to establish in legislation the prohibition of totalitarian regime symbols’ use: Nazism, Stalinist and Communist for political parties (the proposal to complete the 4th art. of Law on political parties nr. 294-XVI from December the 21, 2007), the prohibition to use these symbols as corporate symbols of juridical persons (the 6th article of Law on public symbols nr. 86 from July 28th, 2011), as well as the prohibition of Nazism, Stalinist and Communist totalitarian ideology’s propagation (the 3rd article of Law on freedom of speech nr. 64 from April the 23, 2010). Previously, on June the 28th, 2010 it was proposed a project with the same title (on historical, political and juridical appreciation of totalitarian communist regime from RM), but the project contained a number of law’s provisions which weren’t included in the final editorial.
