PAS MPs Sergiu Litvinenco and Veronica Roșca on April 9 filed an application to the Constitutional Court over the declaring of the state of emergency. “Beyond the fact that the so-called state of emergency is a classical fake, and this was admitted by those who coordinated the taking of this decision, a number of constitutional and legal norms were violated in the adoption of the Parliament and Government decisions,” Sergiu Litvinenco posted on social media.

According to the MP, the procedure define by the special law was not respected when the state of emergency was declared. “On the one hand, the Government didn’t have the right to propose a state of emergency, given that it is interim. On the other hand, Parliament couldn’t have adopted such a decision as the proposal to declare the state of emergency was to come from a plenipotentiary Government or the President, not from MPs,” argued Sergiu Litvinenco.

Earlier, MP Octavian Țîcu requested the CC to declare unconstitutional the Government decision of March 30 to propose declaring a state of emergency and the Parliament decision of March 31 to declare a state of emergency. According to the MP, the two decisions are not constitutional because the state of emergency can be proposed only by the President or the plenipotentiary Government, but not by the current outgoing Cabinet that has limited powers.
