With this decision, the Constitutional Court also raised doubts about the legal basis of other decrees to curb the epidemic.

Government position: All measures taken in a transparent and public way

On Thursday, the Constitutional Court declared invalid the government’s decisions to curb the epidemic in education, passed in the form of a decree, and the decision of the Minister of Education on distance learning. It ruled that the decisions were regulations that had to be published in the Government Gazette or they would not be valid. According to the constitutional judges, this also meant that the decree on the temporary collection ban in educational institutions was canceled.

In a press release, the Government Legislative Service emphasized the government’s position that all measures have been taken in a transparent and public manner and, in its opinion, have been correctly presented and published. According to the government, all of the above also applies to the laws with which it has extended the measures.

“The public and especially the National Assembly were immediately informed of these measures”, They wrote. However, the court’s decision surprised the government, “as it has not taken such a position in its previous decisions on the measures“.
