Romanian Democrat Liberals Call For No-Confidence Vote If Govt Blocks Teachers’ Wage Hikes

Romanian democrat liberal leader Emil Boc said Saturday the party will call for a no-confidence vote in parliament if the government takes responsibility for a law blocking the 50% wage hike for teachers which the head of state passed Friday.

"The Tariceanu government can either enforce the law raising teachers’ wages or it can go home,” Boc said.
 
Boc said the government could either apply the law, initiate an ordinance repealing the law or assume responsibility for another law blocking the one the president promulgated.
 
Democrat liberals are set to call for a no-confidence vote in parliament if the government chooses the latter option, and will call for urgent debates in parliament to reject the ordinance the government could adopt.
 
Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu called for an emergency cabinet meeting for Saturday morning to decide what to do about the law raising teachers’ wages.
