Opposition threatens to file motion with Constitutional Court over budget provisional regime
Opposition parties and movements will turn to the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic if President Peter Pellegrini signs the amendment to the law on budgetary rules of public administration. The amendment eases the rules valid during the budget provisional regime. hnonline.sk ↗
The opposition once again called on the president not to sign the legal amendment. According to them, Pellegrini should intervene and prevent the government from being able to handle public finances to a greater extent based on the changed rules. teraz.sk ↗
The dispute concerns changes to the budgetary rules that would regulate the functioning of the state during the provisional period. Opposition representatives claim that the amendment fundamentally changes the existing framework and expands the government's scope in deciding on public expenditure. hnonline.sk ↗
The president has not yet signed the amendment nor announced his final decision. If he were to sign it, the opposition has indicated it will make use of constitutional review. A specific motion to the Constitutional Court would thus become the next step in the dispute over the rules governing state management during the budget provisional regime. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the head of state's decision. Signing the amendment would open the way to an assessment of its constitutionality, while refusal to sign would postpone the opposition's plan to file a motion with the Constitutional Court.
