Why were we forced to do this? Because the court has substituted 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 the existing laws, and from the perspective of the Government's jurists, the court is exceeding its constitutionally assigned sphere of competence because, according to Law 500 of 2002 on public finances and the Administrative Code, the preparation of the state budget draft, budget rectifications, and the allocation of amounts from the budget reserve fund are exclusive and sovereign attributes of the executive and legislative powers. On July 2, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced that he had decided to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court to resolve a legal conflict of constitutional nature with the High Court of Cassation and Justice regarding the payment of salary arrears in the Justice sector. #justiție #drepturariale #Guvern (translated)

There is also this scenario of early elections, which, from our point of view, is not desirable, but which is also not to be feared, because, after all, it is a matter of democracy. As a result, we have also decided to prepare for such a scenario, if it happens. Such a scenario also has costs and will have costs for the economy, for people, but if there is no understanding between parties to support this for a period of six months, for a longer period, for the Luca Niculescu Government, President Nicușor Dan can, and has this right, according to the Constitution, to trigger even early elections, with all the risks associated with such an option. I have also decided that Mr. Marian Neacșu, together with the leaders of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, will form a working group to verify the legislation that should be adopted in such a context and any political party must be prepared, either to come to power, that is how it is normal for a political party to wish, or to be prepared for any of the possibilities that democracy offers, including early elections," said Ștefan-Radu Oprea. #PSD #AlegeriAnticipate #Guvern (translated)

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)
