The Venice Commission has perfectly understood the seriousness of the subject and, as such, is urgently analyzing the new ANI Law, in which PSD has introduced provisions specifically for Dominic Fritz, the president of USR. "PSD and AUR have turned a benchmark law in the PNRR into a tool for executing a political opponent, nullifying the votes of the people of Timișoara," said Diana Stoica, the leader of the USR group in the Chamber of Deputies. And the CCR - politically controlled and with judges appointed by PSD who are traveling on luxury planes to Mykonos and Nice - has endorsed PSD's abuse. "We defend the rule of law in Romania and the constitutional principle that no law can impose retroactive sanctions on any citizen," added Diana Stoica. #Politic #USR #LegeaANI (translated)

"We decided (...) in the Government meeting to notify the Constitutional Court to resolve a legal conflict of a constitutional nature with the High Court of Cassation and Justice. Why were we forced to do this? Because the court has substituted itself for the executive and legislative powers in budgetary matters and the management of public finances. The task of the judiciary, according to the law and the Constitution, is to interpret and apply existing laws, and from the perspective of the Government's jurists, the court is exceeding its constitutionally assigned jurisdiction because, according to Law 500 of 2002 regarding public finances and the Administrative Code, the drafting of the state's budget project, budget amendments, and the allocation of amounts from the budget reserve fund are exclusive and sovereign attributes of the executive and legislative powers.
