“强拆”现象背后的法治隐忧

The Legal Worry behind the Phenomenon of "Forced Demolitions and Evictions"

法治需要有公平、正义的信仰为依凭,仅有经济发展而没有信仰支撑,断然不会形成法治秩序;个人权利是个人的自由选择,强迫的自由是不自由,"被幸福"不是幸福。"强拆"往往是假公共利益之名,将实在的个人利益淹没于虚幻的公共利益之中;"强拆"事件说明,一些地方官员的权力行使没有边界,没有制约和限制,充斥着权力的傲慢和桀骜不驯;拆迁由地方政府出面显然是作了它不该做的事,法治政府是有所为,有所不为;协商和妥协是现代法治社会解决冲突的合理方式,法治体现了对不同社会阶层、不同人群的包容精神,而"强拆"现象是与法治包容、妥协精神相背离的。

Rule by law needs equity and justice. Economic development without the support of belief can＇ t bring about rule by law. The forced demolitions and evictions usually done in the name of public bene- fits show that the local officials have rights without limitations and restrictions. The local governments should not participate in the forced demolitions and evictions. Negotiations and compromise are the proper ways of settling the social conflicts in the modem society of rule by law, reflecting the magnanimous spirit of different groups.
