Why did we have to do this? Because the court has overstepped the powers of the executive and legislative branches in matters of budgeting and public finance management. The task of the judiciary, according to the law and the Constitution, is to interpret and apply existing laws, and from the perspective of the Government's jurists, the court exceeds its constitutionally assigned scope of competence because, according to Law 500 of 2002 concerning public finances and the Administrative Code, the drafting of the state budget project, budget amendments, and the allocation of funds from the budget reserve are exclusive and sovereign attributes of the executive and legislative powers. On July 2, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced that he had decided to refer to the Constitutional Court for the resolution of a legal conflict of a constitutional nature with the High Court of Cassation and Justice regarding the payment of salary arrears in the Justice sector. #ÎCCJ #drepturidouă #justiție (translated)
