Romania: State of Emergency decree ruled unconstitutional

Romania’s Constitutional Court (CCR) ruled on Wednesday that the government’s state of emergency decree no 34/2020 issued on 26 March amending the article no. OUG 1/1999 on the state of siege and state of emergency had been found unconstitutional.

According to the CCR, the government cannot restrict the exercise of rights and freedoms through an emergency decree.

These decisions can only be taken by a law approved by Parliament.
