Bolojan government decisions reinstated as PSD drops annulment effort

Eleven government decisions, initially suspended by the Bucharest Court of Appeal over the summer, are now reinstated. This change follows the Social Democratic Party's (PSD) choice not to pursue annulment by the September 29 deadline. The suspensions ended automatically, as the law requires, without further formalities.

The PSD had sought the suspension of these decisions, arguing that the interim government had introduced 'new policies.' However, by not pursuing annulment, the decisions were allowed to resume. Government Secretary General Dan Reșitnec announced the reinstatement, criticizing the PSD's actions as a 'political show' on his Facebook page.

These decisions cover a range of significant measures, including payments to adults with disabilities, incentives for youth employment, participation in international organ transplant programs, and protection of Natura 2000 natural sites. They also included funding for neutralizing dead animals and reorganizing several government bodies, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the national anti-hail system, and the Nuclear Activities Control Commission (CNCAN).

The measures also managed €596 million from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Norwegian funds, regulated radio equipment and electromagnetic compatibility, and set rules for suspending driving licenses due to unpaid fines. Initially, six decisions were suspended by the court, with the other five following, leading to a temporary halt.

Despite the reinstatement, the PSD has not explained the withdrawal of their annulment request. Dan Reșitnec emphasized that these decisions were important for the state's normal functioning.
