"What happened in Bistrița, where a teacher and a student were stabbed by a minor, must be a wake-up call for society as a whole. Algorithms cannot turn children into criminals. A tragedy should not have to occur for the law to set clear limits on social platforms. Beyond the seriousness of this case, we have a problem that we can no longer afford to ignore: children have access to a digital world designed to capture their attention, but inadequately regulated to protect their safety. Platforms earn billions from user attention. It is unacceptable for the responsibility for the consequences on minors to rest solely with parents and teachers.” Bogdan Ivan stated that the new rules must include real mechanisms for age verification, as well as guarantees regarding the protection of personal data. #BogdanIvan #protectiaCopiilor #legislatieSociala (translated)

As parents, the images from today horrify us, as parents we do not like the numbers below, as parents we are worried and outraged when it happens, and yes, we would prefer it not to exist, although we have our share of blame regarding social networks. "As parents, the images from today horrify us, as parents we do not like the numbers below, as parents we are worried and outraged when it happens, and yes, we would prefer it not to exist, although we have our share of blame regarding social networks. But we must know them and, above all, we must act at least now, before it is too late. Together with Bogdan Ivan, we are working and will submit a legislative proposal by which we propose: banning access to social networks for children under 14 years old, without exceptions (the average in the EU is around this threshold); access between 14 and 18 years old only with the agreement and supervision of parents, through mandatory parental control mechanisms; banning unsolicited private messages sent by adults to minors, with clear obligations for social platforms. Everything we propose is regulated in countries of the European Union or proposals included in the Kids Act, a set of measures designed to limit the exact negative impact of social networks on minors," said Daniel Suciu, a PSD deputy from Bistriţa-Năsăud, in a Facebook post. #SiguranțaCopiilor #RețeleSociale #LegislațieRomână (translated)

"The two norms describe, for this segment of victims, the same unique material act, namely the transportation of the person, pursuing, as an element of the subjective side, the same result: forcing the person into a marriage or cohabitation. The act is susceptible to double qualification at the same moment of consumption, with radically different sanctioning consequences: 1-5 years, according to the new art. 209-1 para. (1), related to para. (2), versus 5-12 years, according to art. 210 para. (1) of the Penal Code. The component 'obtaining money or other material benefits in exchange for adoption' provided by the new letter i) introduced by the law under review within art. 182 of the Penal Code does not qualify the person who must obtain the benefits, thus generating two distinct overlaps on the material element, depending on the quality of the active subject who collects them, indicates Nicușor Dan." #CăsătorieForțată #DrepturileOmului #LegislațieRomană (translated)

Nicușor Dan welcomed the promulgation by President Volodymyr Zelensky of the legislative amendments regarding education in the mother tongue for national minorities. He stated that the new provisions strengthen the legal framework for teaching in the languages of minorities recognized as official languages of the European Union, alongside Ukrainian, and clarify that the mother tongue can be used in all circumstances, not just during classes. Dan asserted that the changes reinforce Ukraine's position as a candidate country for integration into the European Union, a process that Romania firmly supports. He said that Romania will continue to collaborate with the Romanian community and Ukrainian authorities to ensure that legislation provides Romanian children with the opportunity to study in their mother tongue, including in high school. Dan emphasized that the issue concerns the language in which children learn, the preservation of identity, and the transmission of cultural heritage between generations. He added that Romania will continue dialogue with Ukraine and promote its interests, among which it places at the forefront the rights of Romanians everywhere. #Educație #Minorități #Ucraina (translated)
