Social democrat group leader Mircea Dusa said the bill breaches the Constitutional, the Labor Code and several previous decisions issued by the Constitutional Court.

“The bill sets a payment schedule for public sector employees that have been granted definitive court orders. The prosecutors general has warned that this bill breaches the law,” said Dusa.

The bill, which approves a Government emergency decree putting off court-ordered salary payments, was adopted by the Chamber of Deputies 143 to 108 votes and four abstentions.

The bill has already been adopted by the Senate and only requires the head of state’s signature to become law.
