Augustin Zegrean, former president of the Constitutional Court, explained on Wednesday night, on B1 TV, that it is not a special pension for deputies and senators, but a subsidy that parliamentarians introduced in 2006, when they made the law, and they also eliminated it today, and “the state pays these allowances when it has money and no longer pays them when it has no money.”
Parliament adopted this Wednesday the abolition of the special allowances for deputies and senators, but the discussions on a possible decision of unconstitutionality of the CCR were caused by an amendment introduced by USR-PLUS, according to which, with the entry into force of the respective normative act, the payment of the current special allowances also ceases. The judges of the Court had already ruled that such a provision could not have effect in the past, but only in the future.

When asked how plausible a CCR complaint is for this reason, Augustin Zegrean explained: “Of course, no one can prevent them from appearing before the Court if they want to notify it, and I am not talking about parliamentarians, because I understand that almost everyone is in I agree with this approval, but those who are now paying are likely to go to the Constitutional Court. Here’s a problem. They will stumble upon one thing. When they made the law in 2006, they didn’t tell him to retire, they told him otherwise. If it were a pension, we could also speak of constitutionality, but this is not a pension. It is compensation and the State pays these compensation when it has money, and no longer pays it when it has no more money. The Constitutional Court has nothing to do here, especially since it deals with parliamentarians. They gave this assignment, they took it. “
On the fact that the subsidy was introduced by the parliamentarians of one legislature, but eliminated in another, the former president of the RCC pointed out: “Many of them are still there.”
Augustin Zegrean stressed that it is a reform to the Law on the status of deputies and senators, which “has nothing to do with another segment of the population.”

Asked if in his opinion the possibility of the law being blocked by the RCC is limited at this time, Augustin Zegrean replied: “Yes. I also read the bill, saw what they adopted. I don’t see what it could be. If it were as they say, I heard some say that it is not possible, that the law is retroactive, it is not retroactive, because it does not take the money they have received so far, I simply do not give it from now on. in.
“It is not a pension. It is not part of the pension law, it has nothing to do with the pension. It was a help or compensation that the parliamentarians received as a gift, because they spent several years of their life there,” said Augustin Zegrean. .
