Romanian Parliament will meet on January 29, in a joint session of Chamber of Deputies and Senate. Government will ask the two chambers for a confidence vote over a bill reintroducing the 2-round election system for mayors, arguing that this will improve democratic standards at local community level, Standing Bureaus of Senate and Chamber of Deputies have decided on Monday.

According to approved schedule, MPs can submit amendments to this project until January 27, 4.30 pm, and they will be sent to the Government on January 28.

President Klaus Iohannis had previously asked Parliament to convene an extraordinary session regarding Government’s assuming responsibility on election laws.
