crisis, constitutional rights, corruption, ethical codesAbstract
Since some years, the word crisis has been installed in our everyday language. It is a versatile term that is applied to a magmatic reality of vague outlines. Initially the crisis manifested itself economically. But the crisis affects the enjoyment of constitutional rights, aggravating the distress of an increasingly distant citizenship from the political class. In this context, political corruption diverts an outrageous amount of resources that could be destined to satisfy constitutional rights. Hence the fight against corruption resulting priority. Ethical codes appear as new instruments for the regeneration of public life that break the judicialization of political life, which are causing so much damage to our democratic system.
