Barieră pentru cetățeni: CCR a hotărât că românii nu au dreptul să ceară creșterea salariilor prin lege depusă în Parlament

The Constitutional Court ruled that citizens cannot propose legislative initiatives related to fiscal matters, including any measures that significantly increase public spending. This decision stems from a citizen initiative backed by over 153,000 people, which aimed to address salary increases and other benefits for education employees. The Court emphasized that citizens lack the comprehensive understanding of budgetary revenues and expenditures necessary to assess the sustainability of such proposals. Consequently, the Court clarified that the constitutional prohibition on citizen legislative initiatives extends beyond taxes and includes any significant fiscal implications. This ruling aims to protect the budgetary balance and macroeconomic stability of the state.
