If thus Article 170 may be applicable in substance, the procedure set out in Article 173 clearly does not provide a competence for the President as “in the case of a threat to the constitutional order and public security, the Assembly, at the request of the Council of Ministers, may impose a state of emergency in a part or in the whole territory of the State, which lasts for as long as this threat continues, but no longer than 60 days.” However, neither the Council of Ministers (Government) nor the Assembly took action. Does the President have the power to act instead of these bodies if they remain inactive, even though an emergency situation arises?
