Senatul scapă consilierii locali de incompatibilitate

The Senate approved amendments to the Administrative Code, removing incompatibility provisions for local elected officials holding public administration positions. USR plans to challenge the law in the Constitutional Court. The changes were adopted with 82 votes in favor, 19 against, and 21 abstentions, addressing concerns raised by local councilors affected by recent legal interpretations. The amendments also impact contractual employees in public administration with direct hierarchical relationships with relatives. USR representatives announced their intention to contest the law following the Senate vote.
