The opposition said it will also challenge the lection merger bill at the Constitutional Court.
The Government on Monday adopted the bill merging 2012 local and parliamentary elections and the one regulating High Court of Justice judge appointments and decided to seek the Parliament’s confidence vote to make them into laws, said Prime Minister Emil Boc.
Senate Chairman Vasile Blaga said the Parliament’s standing offices would meet Monday to set a calendar for the confidence vote procedure.
The ruling coalition decided the Government would present the bill merging next year’s local and parliamentary elections and the bill regulating judge appointments at the High Court of justice on Thursday, December 15. The Government expects amendments on the two bills by December 14.
The Government will insist that a potential motion of no-confidence submitted by the opposition should be read out in Parliament next Monday, December 19, and put to the vote on Thursday, December 22.
A motion of no-confidence may be carried if more than half of lawmakers vote in its favor. The Cabinet is overthrown if a motion of no-confidence is carried. If the motion is rejected, the bills are considered adopted.
