Constitutional Court rejects reform complaint

The Constitutional Court rejected on Thursday the first of several complaints filed by the opposition Social Democrats about the fiscal reform package adopted in 2007. The strongest opposition party had asked the Constitutional Court to abolish the reform act because they believed it was adopted in violation of the constitution. The Court rejected the complaint saying that no law was breached. The verdict diminishes the chances for success of other complaints about the fiscal reform as the Constitutional Court will no longer be reviewing the legislative procedure leading to the adoption of the reform bill.
