Earlier Tuesday, the Constitutional Court ruled constitutional the unitary wage law for which the Government recently sought lawmakers' confidence vote.

Opposition liberals had notified the Constitutional Court on the Government's confidence-vote procedures to push the wage bills through parliament. The opposition's no-confidence motion over the bill was rejected in Parliament last week.

Liberals said the Government cannot seek a confidence vote anytime it wants and cannot substitute for the Parliament.

The Social Democratic Party also challenged the unitary wage law at the Constitutional Court, after the opposition's no-confidence motion over the normative act was rejected in Parliament.

The Court also cleared the state budget bill Tuesday.
