Nicușor Dan must be suspended! On October 6, George Simion announced that he would provide PSD parliamentarians with the table for the suspension signatures, thus trying to gain the support of social democrats to initiate the procedure. #politica #suspendare #Constituție (translated)

The Social Democratic Party was disappointed that it did not receive this mandate. "The Social Democratic Party was disappointed that it did not receive this mandate. And I said this last week as well. And the reactions were not easy within the party. But the president did not violate the Constitution. It is his right, following consultations, to make a proposal that he considers suitable to form a majority," declared Sorin Grindeanu. #politica #suspendare #Constituție (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)

"Why did we decide 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 point of view of the Government's jurists, the court is exceeding its constitutionally assigned sphere of competence. According to interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, the amount that should be paid amounts to 4.8 billion lei." #ICCJ #Justiție #RestanțeSalariale (translated)

the adoption and transmission for publication of the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 38/2026 after the withdrawal of the Parliament's confidence through a motion of censure (May 5, 2026), respectively its publication in the Official Monitor on May 8, 2026, by a Government which, in accordance with Article 110 paragraph (4) of the Constitution, was no longer authorized to exercise anything other than current administration acts of public affairs, categorically excluding any delegated legislative competence. Sorin Grindeanu states in the petition that this legal conflict of a constitutional nature is generated by two unconstitutional conducts of the Romanian Government, distinct but converging in their effects. #CCR #SorinGrindeanu #ProgramulSAFE (translated)

The Constitutional Court of Romania is set to decide today on the legality of the emergency ordinance regarding the SAFE program, adopted by the Bolojan Government, in the context of the complaint made by the PSD leader, Sorin Grindeanu, who claims that the interim Executive has exceeded constitutional limits. #CCR #ProgramulSAFE #Constituție (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. At this moment, the judiciary has neither the technical competence nor the legitimacy to determine how public money from a consolidated general budget is distributed, forcing the Government to allocate amounts for a single sector,” Bolojan stated on July 2." #CCR #ICCJ #Guvern (translated)

"The constitutional legal conflict is generated by two distinct but converging unconstitutional conducts by the Government of Romania: the adoption and transmission for publication of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 38/2026 after the Parliament's withdrawal of confidence through a vote of no confidence (May 5, 2026), respectively its publication in the Official Monitor on May 8, 2026, by a Government that, according to Article 110 paragraph (4) of the Constitution, was no longer authorized to carry out anything but acts of ordinary administration of public affairs, with the categorical exclusion of any delegated legislative competence; the regulation through Government Emergency Ordinance no. 38/2026 of some legislative solutions that were already in parliamentary procedure - under debate or even on the agenda of the plenary sessions in the Chamber of Deputies and, respectively, in the Senate - thus transforming the Government from a delegated legislator, who was just stripped of its democratic mandate, into a legislative authority competing with Parliament, abdicating from its constitutional role and at the same time disregarding the obligation of constitutional loyalty towards Parliament, as the sole legislative authority of the country." Sorin Grindeanu requested the Constitutional Court to acknowledge the existence of this constitutional legal conflict between Parliament and the Government and to establish the conduct to be followed in order to restore constitutional order. #Constituție #Guvern #Parlament (translated)

The Constitutional Court of Romania will discuss a notification from the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Sorin Grindeanu, regarding a possible legal conflict of constitutional nature between the Government and Parliament, generated by the issuance of an emergency ordinance. #Constituție #Guvern #Parlament (translated)

The Lithuanian president Gitanas Nauseda declared at the beginning of July that he wants his country to participate in the Western nuclear dissuasion against Moscow, while the Parliament began to make the necessary amendments to the Constitution. #Lituania #ArmeNucleare #Rusia (translated)

I had another meeting, discussion with the president, in which the atmosphere that was, unfortunately, already outlined. I accepted the invitation, came to the discussions, although the framework set by the presidency of Romania, ignoring a democratic rule of common sense, as well as the spirit and letter of the Constitution, was clear: AUR cannot support a government, AUR cannot support the government. AUR's First Deputy President Dan Dungaciu stated on Monday, after the consultations at the Cotroceni Palace, that the party's delegation continues to hold that the solution for resolving the political crisis lies in early elections. #AUR #alegeriantropate #crizăpolitică (translated)

"The Presidency of Romania ignores not only the democratic rule of common sense but also the spirit and letter of the Constitution. AUR cannot support a Government; AUR cannot be in power. We came and discussed, the discussions were focused on what is happening in Romania and what is not happening in Romania, meaning a formula in which democracy no longer works (...). When someone from outside a democracy decides what must happen, democracy no longer works. A president who decides what Parliament must do (...) does not encourage the euro-atlantic norms he promotes. The president perpetuates a state of societal violence. We are in the same logic, where the violence then targeted the legal space and the intraromanian war. We are merely increasing the spiral of violence with political approaches. It is a war that has deprived it of developing and having medium and long-term projects. If you look at states from the Balkans that were much behind Romania, they are now our colleagues in the OECD." Dan Dungaciu, the first vice-president of AUR, stated after the meeting with Nicușor Dan that the party cannot support a Government and cannot enter into power in the current context. #AlegeriAnticipate #AUR #CrizaPolitica (translated)

Dan Dungaciu, the first vice-president of AUR, stated that the current political crisis in Romania cannot be resolved through the consultations at Cotroceni and proposed early elections as a solution, accusing the Presidency of obstruction and ignoring the Constitution. #AlegeriAnticipate #AUR #CrizaPolitica (translated)

Nicușor Dan deemed the actions directed against journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu unacceptable and rejected the use of political disagreement for intimidation. He stated that no journalist should be threatened, harassed, or subjected to violence for their expressed opinions and asserted that press freedom, guaranteed by the Constitution, entails the ability to speak and report without fear. Dan added that defending this principle does not depend on political sympathies and that public debate should not be transformed into threats, intimidation, or incitement to hatred. #LibertateaPressei #RespectPentruDemocrație #DrepturileOmului (translated)

BREAKING: In Moldova a fost demarat procedura de suspendare a presedintelui Maia Sandu. Opoziția o acuză pe Maia Sandu de încălcarea Constituției și a legilor, inclusiv de subminarea separației puterilor în stat, încălcarea obligației de imparțialitate politică și afectarea unor drepturi și libertăți. „Constatăm degradarea semnificativă a situației generale din țară pe plan social, economic și politic, inclusiv în comparație cu situația de la recunoașterea caracterului captiv al statului Republica Moldova prin Hotărârea Parlamentului din 8 iunie 2019. Condamnăm modul de administrare a statului de către actuala guvernare prin încălcarea principiului separației puterilor în stat și prin arogarea abuzivă de către președinte a competențelor celorlalte ramuri ale puterii de stat”, a declarat deputatul Ion Chicu într-o conferință de presă, citat de tv8.md. Articolul 89 din Constituție stabilește că președintele R. Moldova poate fi suspendat de Parlament în cazul săvârșirii unor fapte grave prin care încalcă prevederile Constituției. Propunerea poate fi inițiată de cel puțin o treime dintre deputați, adică minimum 34 din cei 101 parlamentari. Cele 46 de semnături anunțate de Chicu sunt suficiente pentru inițierea procedurii, însă nu și pentru suspendarea efectivă a șefei statului. Proiectul urmează să fie examinat de Parlament, iar Biroul permanent va stabili data dezbaterii în plen. #Moldova #politica #democratie

Violențele pe care le vedem astăzi în Piața Victoriei sunt extrem de grave. Condamn cu toată fermitatea astfel de acțiuni și orice încercare de a transforma un protest legitim în lupte de stradă. Atacurile și agresiunile, actele de vandalism, sunt inacceptabile și trebuie sancționate drastic, conform legii. Nicio nemulțumire nu poate justifica un astfel de comportament și punerea în pericol a celorlalți cetățeni aflați în stradă. La fel de gravă și condamnabilă este instigarea la violență și încercarea unor politicieni iresponsabili de a amplifica artificial tensiunea socială pentru a deturna un miting legitim pornit din nemulțumiri legitime. Într-o societate democratică, protestul este o formă de libertate, nu de intimidare. Demonstrațiile fac parte din drepturile civice garantate și respectate în toate democrațiile. Exprimarea publică, inclusiv a nemulțumirii față de anumite decizii ale autorităților publice, este garantată prin Constituție, cu condiția organizării și desfășurării de manifestări pașnice. Contextul social, economic și politic dificil este real și a generat în societatea noastră multe frustrări justificate. Cu toate acestea, violența nu a fost și nu va fi niciodată o soluție. Din păcate, vedem cum limbajul urii, promovat tot mai des în spațiul public, inclusiv în mediul online, produce efecte dramatice și se transformă în acțiuni regretabile. Fac un apel la rațiune și la responsabilitate. Calea dialogului rămâne singura care poate oferi soluții. #protest #violență #democrație
