The Ciolos cabinet proposes in the Government programme made public on Sunday a series of specific measures to resolve the current situation in the health system, but also to stimulate vaccination. The green certificate would condition both access to events and shops and the dismissal of employees who refuse to present it.

The Ciolos Government also wants to impose a two-week holiday for pupils, to be made up for next summer by extending the school year – all to stem the tide of Coronavirus infections.

It should be noted that some of these measures – those restricting certain rights – can only enter into force by law, and not by emergency ordinance, according to the CCR decision. The Ciolos cabinet will come to a vote in Parliament next week.
