Analytical study between Decree 21/01 and the amended and supplemented Decree 21/13 of Law 11/10 - The community as a model -

Abstract

The Municipality is the basic pillar that forms the administrative organisation and the main nucleus of local development. It has two main bodies represented in the Municipal People’s Assembly and its President, each of which has a set of powers granted to it by the Local Administration Law No. 11/10. The municipal bodies are also subject to some form of supervision by the Inspectorate, which is perhaps the legislator’s concern to ensure that the municipality does not abuse its powers and privileges. The main objective of this study is to highlight the main structures of the municipality and to focus on the main powers granted to it by law, as well as to shed light on the control mechanisms imposed on it. One of the most important findings is that the control over the municipality took the form of strict control, as it included the Municipal People’s Assembly as an entity and its members, as well as control over its actions. Therefore, we cannot say that the independence of the municipality is absolute, but rather relative, as it is subject to the central authority.
