The Romanian Constitutional Court ruled that a dismissed government cannot adopt emergency ordinances, confirming a constitutional conflict between Parliament and the government regarding OUG 38/2026. The court emphasized that allowing such actions would undermine the parliamentary authority and disrupt the balance of power. The decision, made with a majority vote, highlighted that a government that has lost parliamentary confidence must limit its actions to necessary administrative tasks until a new government is sworn in. The court rejected the notion that urgency could justify legislative actions by a dismissed government, reinforcing the principle of constitutional loyalty between state authorities. This ruling raises questions about the future of OUG 38/2026, which pertains to strategic investments in defense.
