Romanian Opposition Parties Call On Constitutional Court To Analyze Education Law

The request states the Government's decision to adopt the education bill by seeking a vote of confidence has breached the fundamental provisions on the separation of powers in the state, the Parliament's role as single legislative body and the confidence vote procedure itself.

The opposition deputies also said that a similar bill is currently being debated by the Senate and argue that, since the education law will only enter effect starting with the next school year and there is no evidence of blockage in the legislature's activity, the Government's move to expedite the adoption process is unconstitutional.

In addition, the request lists a number of the law's articles which supposedly are in breach of the Constitution, such as provisions on education in the language of national minorities, university autonomy, incompatibilities imposed on university rectors and regulations on the property of private and religious education units, which the signatories say would be nationalized.
