The two notifications regarding the unconstitutionality of the law had been drawn by 29 senators and 58 deputies belonging to the Social-Democratic Party. Following consultations, the Constitutional Court decided, with a majority, that the law is unconstitutional, the Court’s Press Bureau announced.
