Problems of students’ transport to schools will be solved by an emergency ordinance
After a Constitutional Court decision, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban announced last night that the government will issue an emergency ordinance to solve the problems of transporting students to schools, a problem he had tried to solve at the end of last year by assuming responsibility in the Parliament. However, yesterday, the constitutional judges admitted the Social Democrat Party notifications for this project and for the one regarding the National Institute of Magistracy. According to some judicial sources, the Court’s decisions were taken because the conditions for the Government to assume responsibility were not fulfilled. The Prime Minister said he is now waiting for the Court’s motivation. He does not believe that the will of a government to solve people’s problems would be unconstitutional./opopescu
