Romanian Liberals Challenge Constitutionality Of Unitary Pay Law

Liberals said in their notice to the Court that the law regulating wages in the public sector breaks eight articles of the Constitution.

Romanian lawmakers on Thursday rejected a no-confidence motion initiated by opposition liberals and the Hungarian minority party over the Government’s adoption of the unitary pay law, as only 112 votes backed the motion, which needed 236 votes to pass.

Romania’s Liberal Party submitted to the Secretary General of the Chamber of Deputies a notification challenging the law on education at the Constitutional Court and another one on the law reorganizing authorities and public institutions. For these laws too, the government asked for a confidence vote in Parliament on September 15.
