Voting once every five years — is that really deciding? Between two elections, citizens can neither propose, correct, nor block. The PACTE hands that power back to the people.
“Before we divide over what should be done, let’s agree on honest rules — and let the people vote on them.”
The 12 commitments of the PACTE
1. The RIC — citizens’ initiative referendums, on any subject, any scope
2. Revise the Constitution by referendum
3. A more representative voting system
4. Count blank ballots
5. Ballot access sponsored by citizens alone
6. Ban voting-intention polls
7. Impartial media, equal airtime
8. Ineligibility for corruption
9. Elected officials held accountable
10. Independent prosecutors & ARCOM (the media regulator)
11. A true Constitutional Court
12. Term limits — number & duration
▸ The candidate’s / official’s pledge
“If elected, I commit to opening the year of public debate on the 12 reforms, then to putting their options to the people by referendum, one year to the day after the election — as my top priority.”
▸ The citizen’s pledge
“I pledge to give my vote only to a candidate who has signed the PACTE.”
