Xsampa rewrites it's Constitution; Custodianship formally abolished.

August 6th, 5725
---------------------------
After months of debate in PAX, the CPX presented their magnum opus. A new constitution. And thanks to their majority, as well as a sympathetic ISDP, it was able to cross the supermajority threshold and pass easily. As such, the 5725 Constitution is now in effect. One of the most notable changes from it has been the formal abolishment of the role of Custodian, outright merging it with Premier. But, there are far more changes, more in line with the Mass Democracy line of thought. So, what's changed?

First things first, besides the abolishment of the Custodianship, the Constitution has recognized Mass Democracy, and democracy itself as a revolutionary process that must be continuous and that the state must guarantee the conditions for democracy. Rights have been reaffirmed, such as the right to freely organize assemblies, engage in public deliberation, participate in worker councils, initiate public campaigns and petitions, and engage in political protest and political mobilization. Mass Action, as seen last year by the Democratic Opposition will be formally recognized in the Constitution as a legal avenue, and constitutionally protected when it seems to protect, correct or influence the course of democratic institutions that may be straying away from democratic ideals. Alongside this, all major legislation must not only pass PAX, but undergo a public consultation period and citizens may initiate national petitions. Every delegate in PAX will be recallable from their own communities, as they remain representatives of their communities and can be recalled and replaced if a simple majority requests. Alongside this, the ban on capitalist parties will remain, but parties subscribing to an authoritarian ideology will also be banned.

Furthermore, the role of Local Committee's is reaffirmed in that, they hold the right to interpret and implement national law, and facilitate local participation, but may not legislate independently and in according with Mass Democracy, may resist unconstitutional laws from being implemented locally. Regarding the economy, while the constitution can't switch to a worker directed economy overnight, it can lay the legal framework. And as such, worker councils will be formally recognized as being responsible for directing production, electing workplace leadership, and coordinating across Economic Sectors. Markets and Social Enterprises shall be retained, and have their roles as reflecting consumer demand and assisting in the allocation of resources, but neither Markets nor Social Enterprises can override Worker Councils, or determine production priorities. 

With a new constitution, the CPX is looking towards the economy, and actually doing the work needed to shift Xsampa towards a proper worker directed economy, whilst in terms of foreign affairs, People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Kelden Beaulieu has confirmed that Xsampa is looking to reaffirm its ties in Dovani, and reaffirm that "Xsampa is here to stay and back in full health", with state visits reportedly being planned.
