Rezekne City Council Recommendation shall be recognized as appropriate to the Constitution / Day

As LETA informed the ST, the court ruling of the Rezekne City Municipal Council’s dismissal Law, which is dismissed by the Rezekne City Council, has been recognized as appropriate to Articles 1 and 101 of the Satversme.

The application was submitted to the ST on behalf of Rezekne City Council. The decision to turn to the staff of the fired MPs adopted at the penultimate council meeting, although opposition members object to the plan to address the St. All City Council and encourage Alexander Bartashevich’s « Together Latvia » to take such a step on their own.

The ST concluded that the Rezekne City Council has been long -term and, several times – for the development and approval of the budget of 2023 and 2024 – has violated the laws that determine the basic requirements for the municipal budget. The City Council has also made a commitment that exceeded the financial resources available to it and has delayed receiving the state borrowing, thus allowing the risk of new losses.

St. Kucina, Chairman of the ST, emphasizes that the municipal budget has not been revealed from the overall state budget system. If the municipality acts in a long -term basis for the requirements of regulatory enactments and is in a financial situation that requires high public resources involvement, the overall financial stability and long -term development of the country shall be affected, thus adversely affected by all citizens of the country.

Consequently, the importance of violations of regulatory enactments in the municipal budget is also a matter of context with the threat of the execution of the municipal autonomous functions and the impact not only on the municipalities, but to the general public, according to Kucina, adding that the municipality is not in the country.

Not only the consequences of violations, but also the consequences of the violations of violations of violations of the municipal council, which these violations can lead to. The state is obliged to prevent the municipality from reaching the financial situation of lack of funds for its autonomous functions, st. The state must be able to act in a timely manner, without waiting for a significant harm to cause significant harm, stated in the judgment.

The ST emphasized that the applicant’s actions in the context, especially in a situation where Rezekne City Municipality had significant financial difficulties, could endanger the fulfillment of the autonomous functions of the municipality, causing damage to the interests of both its citizens and the public.

The Court acknowledged that the violations allowed in the context of them were recognized as relevant, and thus there had been a basis for the dismissal of the municipal council.

When assessing whether the dismissal of the Rezekne City Council was necessary, ST concluded that the state had used both the available municipal monitoring mechanisms to ensure the applicant’s legal activities and financial resources to improve the financial situation. However, the conduct of the City Council as a whole has been the opposite of the purpose of ensuring legal activities in the interest of the population and settling the financial situation.

The ST concluded that the applicant’s inability to properly perform the tasks of the administration entrusted to him and thus the activities of the municipality as a subject of public law were impaired. Conversely, the fact that the applicant had already adopted the 2024 budget at the time of adoption of the Contested Norms, in the given circumstances, in the circumstances, it would not indicate that the City Council was able to ensure the legality of its activities in the future.

In the light of the above, the court found that the dismissal of the Rezekne City Council as a post -control agent for the municipality was necessary in a democratic rule of law.

The judgment is definitely and confident.

The Government and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development (MEPRD) were promoted to the Saeima on the grounds that the Rezekne City Council has allowed the « budget and financial management law », the Law « On Local Government Budgets » and violations of the Law on Local Governments, without ensuring

MEPRD has stated that the City Council has demonstrated systematic incompetence and has taken deliberate unlawful activities related to the development, adoption and implementation of the municipal budget 2023, as well as the development and adoption of the budget for 2024.

The Chairman of the Rezekne City Council was suspended for significant and systematic violations, leading the work of the City Council and responsible for the organization and management of the municipal budget enforcement process.
