The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly emphasizes the importance of a robust relationship between the parliamentary majority and opposition as a cornerstone of pluralist democracy. It calls for member states to establish clear rights and protections for the opposition, recognizing its vital role in governance and accountability. The Assembly endorses the Venice Commission's checklist aimed at enhancing the regulation and protection of opposition rights, urging national parliaments to adopt these guidelines to foster democratic integrity and cooperation. By promoting dialogue and best practices, the Assembly seeks to strengthen democratic mechanisms and ensure that both the majority and opposition work together for the public good.
