The chairman of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), Marcel Ciolacu has announced on Wednesday that the motion of censure tabled by the Social Democrats will be put up for a vote on August 31.
“The censure motion is scheduled for a vote on Monday – August 31! The Orban government must leave !!!”, Ciolacu posted on Facebook.
Last Friday, the Orban Cabinet filed a referral to the Constitutional Court regarding a legal constitutional conflict between Government and Parliament on tabling a censure motion during the parliamentary extraordinary session.
The Government is challenging the procedure, arguing that a motion can be tabled only during the ordinary session of the Parliament, which starts on September 1. At the same time, the Cabinet considers that it’s also unconstitutional for a motion to be tabled in extraordinary session and to be voted in an ordinary one.
