Summary/Abstract: The opinion presents the systemic context in which the proposal to introduce mandatory sobriety testing for parliamentarians at the request of the relevant chamber's marshal should be considered. In the author's opinion, when assessing the advisability of introducing a sobriety test for Deputies and Senators, the lawmaker should answer the question of whether such a regulation is capable of achieving the intended objective. The opinion highlights crucial systemic issues that should be taken into account in potential legislative work in this area.
