The Reality of the Impossibility to Apply the Disciplinary Sanctions Established for Local and County Councillors

Committing responsibility in one’s own name for the activity carried out and at the same time committing joint and several responsibility for the activity of the council in whose structure they are found, are also of interest. At the same time, in relation to the real factual context, it is interesting to debate the responsibility for the acts to be adopted, as a member of the majority, dominated by the indications of the party or political alliance to which they belong or fraternize. The approach procedure aims to highlight the blockage created by the legislator, so that everything leads not only to a difficult decision-making process but also to the maintenance and development of a state of conflict. How, in these circumstances, would it be possible to ensure the possibility of applying a disciplinary sanction, as long as there is always a majority appointing a chairperson from among its members, and with the authority of the majority the chairperson or the council will never apply directly or by a decision adopted “by an absolute majority†, a sanction for any councillor part of this majority?
