This whole state collapse, the country could come because of the lack of new ruling institutions.
The alert for this has been given by the Ministry of Finance itself, which has warned that in the case of failing to adopt the new budget law by the New Government and the Parliament, all payments, including salaries from security organs to civil service, pensions and other social assistance, public services and all other budgetary obligations, will be cut off from February 28th.
The budget proposal for 2020 was submitted to the Government on October 31st, 2019, but the latter could not approve the budget bill and send it to the Assembly, as the latter was not constitutional.
The Ministry of Finance through a communique for the media has clarified that the budget proposal can only be addressed and prosecuted by the new Government of the Constitutional Assembly, such as organs released by the recent parliamentary elections.
In accordance with LMFPP legal authorisations, the Ministry of Finance has extended budgetary allocations and budgetary regulations for 2 months of 2020, or 16.67% of the final division of 2019, respectively, until February 28, 2020, after the provision under Article 24, the 1st paragraph of LMFPPPP, respectively, was held in the last four months before the start of the fiscal year, as the situation defined at the LMFPP.
In accordance with Article 24, paragraph 2 of the LMFPP, only the Parliament could decide on the extension of budgetary divisions for even one months, for the period until 31 March 2020, respectively.
This is the final time allowed for budget spending, and there is no other legal instrument for budget cuts to be extended more than three months, so no later than March 31, 2020.
After passing the aforementioned deadlines 28 February, respectively, according to the limits of the LMFPP, article 24, paragraph 3, if the above-mentioned divisions have expired and the new Law on Bunting Divisions has not been adopted, then no budgetary organisation or other public authority can authorise any spending or payment until the new Law on Business Divisions is adopted.
