【禁闻】炎黄春秋新年献词 宪法是政改共识

【新唐人2013年01月04日讯】新年来临,在中国传媒一片“中国梦”和“复兴路”的社论声中,享有盛名的民间政史月刊《炎黄春秋》,发表新年献词说,宪法是国家根本大法,宪法的权威至高无上,宪法是推进政治体制改革的共识﹔执政党必须改变宪法失信的状况。这篇文章引来好评,但是杂志负责人表示,抛出这篇文章很有风险。

创刊22年的《炎黄春秋》,经常刊登中共元老、和知名学者有关党史等敏感事件的评论文章,具有相当代表性。

《炎黄春秋》元旦献词指出“宪法基本上被虚置”。例如宪法规定:全国人民代表大会是最高国家权力机关、国家依照法律规定保护公民的私有财产和继承权、国家尊重和保护人权、公民有言论出版等多项自由、公民的人身自由不受侵犯、法院依照法律规定独立行使审判权。但是,这些规定并没有落实。将宪法和现实对照,发现现行制度、政策、法令和很多政府行为,和宪法差距十分遥远。中国的宪法基本上被虚置。

《炎黄春秋》成员多为退休高官及资深记者。《新唐人》采访了副社长杨继绳,他表示,发表这篇文章很有风险。

记者:“那么为什么共产党把宪法放在形同虚设的位置上呢?”

炎黄春秋副社长 杨继绳:“这个就不好说了,我们就讲个现象。我们讲到这个地步就很有风险了。再往深说就不好说了,我们已经说的很厉害了。”

记者:“那您认为宪法形同虚设的根本原因是什么?”

杨继绳:“咱们不是宪政国家嘛。体制不是宪政体制,如果是宪政国家,那就宪法可以落实。”

记者:“那你认为共产党有可能把宪法放在共产党领导之上吗?”

杨继绳:“共产党已经承诺了,从中国共产党第十二次全国代表大会的党章,就确定,党应该在法律的范围内活动,既然这样,那就是党不能超越法律,党在法下,十二大,十三大,十四大,十五大,十六大,十七大,十八大,每一届的党章,都讲到这个事情,党要在法律规定的范围内活动。 ”

《炎黄春秋》新年献词强调,政治体制改革实质是一场“维宪行动”。既然宪法是政改共识,就应将虚置的宪法变成现实的制度体系、法律体系,就应当将现行一切违反宪法的制度、法令、政策改变过来,使它与宪法一致。落实宪法,必须有相应的制度保证,例如:建立宪法审查制度、建立宪法法院、在人大设立专门的委员会、将宪法司法化。建立落实宪法的制度,本身就是政治体制改革的重要内容。

记者也采访了《炎黄春秋》执行主编兼副社长吴思。

记者:“那么为什么共产党把宪法放在形同虚设的位置上呢?”

炎黄春秋执行主编兼副社长 吴思:“你这些问题我答了以后,心里感到不安。对不起,算了吧。我们知道我们话题,新年献词有些敏感。您的问题更敏感。”

记者:“你们筹划抛出这样一篇新年献词?希望达到什么效果呢?”

吴思:“找到政治体制改革的共识。”

资深媒体人高瑜在《德国之声》评论说,《炎黄春秋》这篇新年献词犹如一声春雷,在2013年元旦的北京上空炸响。高瑜认为,这是中国改革开放36年来,积蓄释放出来的宪政强音。这篇献词摆脱了党派意识,是站在普世的宪政立场,与执政者进行一次完全平等的“政治协商”。

China’s Constitution is the Consensus for Political Reform

2013 is here. Amidst Chinese editorials called
“China Dream" and “Reconstruction Path",
the popular monthly magazine Yan Huang Spring Autumn
published a New Year message.
It said that the Constitution is the fundamental law
of the state. The authority of the Constitution is supreme.
The Constitution promotes the
consensus of political reform.
The ruling party must change in order
for the constitution to regain trust.
The article drew praise, but the magazine
director said that the article was very risky.

Founded 22 years ago, Yan Huang Spring Autumn
often publishes articles regarding the patriarch of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
It also publishes articles on party history, and
other sensitive events from well-known scholars.
It is quite a representative magazine.

The “Yan Huang Spring Autumn" New Year’s Day
message pointed out that the Constitution is false.
For example, the Constitution stipulates that the National
People’s Congress is the highest organization of state power.
In accordance with the law, the state is to protect
citizens’ private property and inheritance rights.
The state should respect and protect human rights,
citizens should have freedom of speech and publication.
Citizens personal freedom should not be violated,

and the court in accordance with law is to exercise
judicial power independently.
However, these provisions are not implemented.

Comparing Constitution and reality, it shows that the
current system, policies, decrees and acts of many
governments are very far away from our Constitution.
China’s Constitution is basically false.

The staff of the magazine are mostly retired
senior government officials and senior reporters.
NTD Television interviewed vice president
Yang Jisheng, who said the article was very risky.

Reporter: “So why does the CCP put the
Constitution in a non-existing position?”
Yang Jisheng: “This is difficult to say,
so we only talk about a scenario.
At this point, we have already taken a great risk.”

Reporter: “What do you think the
root cause is of this false constitution?”
Yang Jisheng: “We are not a constitutional state.

Our system is not constitutional, otherwise,
the Constitution would be implemented.”

Reporter: “Do you think the CCP will
put the Constitution above its leadership?”
Yang Jisheng: “The CCP has promised,
since the 12th Congress, that the party
should act within the scope of the law.
That means the CCP cannot
go beyond the legal system.
From the 12th -18th Congress, each session
of the Party Constitution spoke of this matter.
Namely the CCP should act within
the limits prescribed by law.”

Yan Huang Spring Autumn’s New Year
message stressed political reform being
essentially an act of “protection of constitution”.
Since the Constitution is the consensus of political reform.

It should become a reality, and all violations
of the constitution in the legal system, the
current system, and policies should be changed.
This should make them consistent with the Constitution.

The implementation of the Constitution
must have an appropriate “system security.”
This includes the establishment of the constitutional
review system, the Constitutional Court, and a special
committee in the National People’s Congress.
It is a judicialization of the Constitution.
The establishment of the system itself to implement the
Constitution is the important element of political reform.

NTD reporters also interviewed Wu SI,
the executive editor and vice president.

Reporter: “So why does the CCP put the
Constitution in the non-existing state?”
Wu Si: “I am not comfortable answering
your question. I’ll pass. Sorry about that.
Our New Year’s message is quite sensitive,
but your question is even more sensitive.”

Reporter: “What do you expect to gain by
throwing out such a New Year’s message?”
Wu Si: “To find consensus for political reform."

Gao Yu, a senior media person,
commented in “Deutsche Welle".
The Yan Huang Spring Autumn’s New Year message
had exploded in Beijing on New Year’s Day of 2013. It was like spring thunder.
Gao believes that this is a strong voice for China’s reform,
released 36 years after the establishment of the constitution.
This New Year’s message, without the partisan
consciousness, stands on a universal constitutional
position and talks to those in power, carrying out
a complete, equal political conversation.
