Constitutional Court: Ordinance forbidding income accumulated from pension and salary is not Constitutional

The emergency ordinance adopted amongst the first measures of the new Government – preventing employees gain both salary and pensions – was declared on Thursday as coming against the Constitution.

The People’s Lawyer challenged the ordinance, claiming it looks rather like an expropriation, coming against the fundamental right to labor. „There can not be any limitations of narrowing of the right to labor”, the People’s Lawyer, Ioan Muraru, said.
