The date of the parliamentary elections remains a dilemma for many politicians. Although it is set for December 6 by the Government, the date could be modified, under certain conditions, following the motivation of the CCR’s decision published on Wednesday.

The former president of the Constitutional Court, Augustin Zegrean, spoke about this.

He said Wednesday night that parliamentary elections would take place on December 6 only if President Klaus Iohannis sent to reexamine the law passed by Parliament.

This is due to the termination of the mandate of elected senators and deputies in 2016 and if Parliament does not adopt a new normative act before the date of the elections.

The Constitutional Court published this Wednesday the reason for the decision by which the judges rejected the notification of President Klaus Iohannis and the Government on the Law on some measures for the organization of elections to the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, after the termination of Parliament elected in 2016.

The RCC stated in the document that the government decision by which the date of the parliamentary elections was set for December 6, although issued in compliance with the law in force on that date, ceases by right as of the entry into force of the normative act subject to constitutional review. respectively the law passed by Parliament.

In the hands of President Klaus Iohannis

“The law has not yet entered into force. It is with the president, the president has 10 days for enactment or has more time to ask Parliament to re-examine the law. If the law takes effect before December 6, everything changes, everything restarts. If the president abides by the law for 10 days and sends it to parliament on October 24, the parliament can mobilize to adopt it very quickly and then the president has only 10 days to publish it again. So the entire history is in the hands of the president ”, explained Augustin Zegrean for Agerpres.

The normative act adopted by Parliament establishes, among others, that “the date of the elections for the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies that will be organized after the expiration of the mandate of the Parliament, being exercised on the date of entry into force of this law , is established by organic law. at least 60 days before the date of the elections ”.

At the end of September, the ICR rejected the notification from President Klaus Iohannis and the Government on the law on some measures to organize the elections to the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, after the end of the mandate of the elected Parliament in 2016.
