Description
This study looks at the role of the Federal Assembly in the Velvet Revolution. With the disintegration of the communist party, the Federal Assembly became unexpectedly a key constitutional institution with far reaching powers in times of rapid political change. The revolutionary movement Civic Forum forced through a legislation that enabled to recall substantial part of the members of the parliament and replace them by its own candidates through co-optation. This method of “cleansing” of the parliament had far-reaching consequences for the post-November Czechoslovak political culture.

      • Študija raziskuje vlogo zveznega parlamenta v žametni revoluciji. Z razpadom komunistične partije je zvezni parlament nepričakovano postal ključna ustavna institucija s pomembnimi pooblastili v času hitrih političnih sprememb. Revolucionarno gibanje Državljanski forum je doseglo sprejem zakonodaje, ki mu je omogočila, da je razrešilo precej poslancev in jih s kooptacijo nadomestilo s svojimi kandidati. Ta metoda »čistke« parlamenta je imela daljnosežne posledice za češkoslovaško politično kulturo po novembru.
