The Ropaži municipality council has taken legal action by approaching the Constitutional Court to contest a ministerial order issued by Raimonds Čudars. The order, which was enacted last year, halted amendments to the local territory planning for the Bergi village area, specifically around Divupes Street. The council argues that this suspension is unjust and violates their rights to administer local territory planning and set building regulations.

According to the council, the minister's actions contravene the Local Government Development Planning Law, specifically its Article 26, which mandates that a minister can only suspend local planning regulations if there are clear procedural violations. The Ropažu dome contends that the arguments presented in the minister's order are flawed and do not hold up under scrutiny. They are seeking a judgment from the Constitutional Court to reinstate their regulatory authority over the area's development.

The implications of this case could be significant for local governance in Latvia, specifically in terms of the balance of power between local municipalities and state authorities. If the Constitutional Court finds in favor of the Ropaži council, it may affirm local government rights in territorial planning matters and set a precedent for similar disputes across the country.
