The Constitutional Court has rejected President Rumen Radev’s request to find the amendments to the Health Act connected with the emergency epidemic situation unconstitutional, the Constitutional Court writes on its website.

The emergency epidemic situation was introduced in place of the state of emergency over coronavirus in the country, which ended on 13 May.

President Radev challenged the right of the Council of Ministers to declare, via the amendments, an emergency epidemic situation, the formal criteria of assessment of the danger to the life and health of the public, and the disproportionate restriction of their rights, such as right of movement and work.
