Prime Minister and Government
It is the role of Government to carry out the domestic and foreign
policy
of the State and to apply general control over the work of public
administration.
A specific programme of activities approved by Parliament will
constitute the guidelines which Government will use in the exercise of
its powers.The Government consists of a prime-minister, a first
vice-prime-minister, vice- prime-ministers of ministers and other
members, as determined by organic law.
A candidate for the office of prime-minister is designated by the
President and
within 15 days from his designation, the candidate for the office of
prime-minister requests a vote of confidence from Parliament regarding
the
programme and the entire list of government members. The Government
enters into the execution of its powers on the very day when its members
take the oath before the President. he Prime-Minister leads the
Government and coordinates the activity of its members. The
government issues decisions and orders by way of legal execution which
are signed by the prime-minister. In cases where Parliament has passed a
vote of no confidence in the
current government, or the prime-minister has been removed from office,
the government
controls the administration of the public affair until the new
government has been sworn in.
The government is responsible before parliament. If initiated by at
least a quarter of the members present in session and
based on their majority vote, Parliament may carry a vote of no
confidence in the government.
