Romanian Constitutional Court Clears Unitary Wage Law

Opposition liberals had notified the Constitutional Court on the Government’s confidence-vote procedures to push the wage bills through parliament. The opposition’s no-confidence motion over the bill was rejected in Parliament last week.

Liberals said the Government cannot seek a confidence vote anytime it wants and cannot substitute for the Parliament.

The Social Democratic Party also challenged the unitary wage law at the Constitutional Court, after the opposition’s no-confidence motion over the normative act was rejected in Parliament.
