President Klaus Iohannis on Friday filed a constitutional challenge to the Law amending and complementing Law No. 3/2000 on organizing and holding a referendum, the Presidential Administration said in a release.
"Despite previously undergoing constitutionality checks, following notifications by MPs, we consider that the Law amending and complementing Law No. 3/2000 further comprises unconstitutional provisions. Thus, the regulatory content of the aforementioned law runs counter to the provisions of Article 1 paragraph (5), Article 142 paragraph (1), Article 146 letter a), Article 147 section (2) and section (4), Articles 150 - 152 and Article 156 of the Constitution," the head of the state argues in his notification.
