ASPECTE REFERITOARE LA ATACAREA ÎN CONTENCIOS ADMINISTRATIV A HOTĂRÂRILOR CONSILIILOR LOCALE PRIVIND ALEGEREA ȘI ELIBERAREA DIN FUNCȚIE A VICEPRIMARULUI
ASPECTS RELATING TO THE CHALLENGE IN ADMINISTRATIVE LITIGATION COURTS OF THE DECISIONS OF THE LOCAL COUNCILS ON THE ELECTION AND RELEASE FROM OFFICE OF THE VICE-MAYOR

Summary/Abstract: In Romania, the vice-mayor is traditionally considered a de jure substitute for the mayor. Provisions regarding the vice-mayor can be found, first of all, in the Administrative Code, especially in art. 152, which regulates his role, its appointment and removal from office. Unlike the mayor, the vice-mayor is elected indirectly, by the local council and from among the local councilors, keeping for the duration of the vice-mayor's mandate the status of local councilor, but without benefiting from the related allowance for this last status. On the other hand, like the mayor, the vice-mayor holds the status of local elected official, since as a preliminary condition, he must first be elected to the position of local councilor. This paper aims to analyze, mainly, the process of electing and dismissing the vice-mayor in relation to the procedural elements that must be fulfilled in this regard, as well as exemplifying some cases in which the decisions of the local councils in the situations highlighted above were challenged in the administrative litigation courts.
