The European People's Party (EPP) is alarmed at the latest step to decriminalise official misconduct, via emergency order, in Romania. In the wake of this development, European People's Party (EPP) President Joseph Daul made the following statement:
"I am alarmed at the latest moves of the Socialist Romanian government to weaken the judiciary by decriminalising the abuse of power, by emergency decree as well as by adoption of a draft law enabling the mass pardoning of prisoners. Adopting such a harmful decree in the middle of the night, even as people protest in the streets, contradicts any principles of democracy and transparency.
The judicial system in Romania has become independent and transparent; with these latest moves, the government tries to weaken it. The judicial system must primarily serve the people, not the corrupt political class. This decree neither serves the people nor is in line with an independent judiciary. On the contrary, it only weakens the judiciary and undermines the trust people have put in the state.
The fight against corruption must continue. A government that weakens the fight against corruption acts against the interest of its people. The EPP stands in solidarity with the people of Romania, with a judicial system which fulfils its mission and with all institutions and political forces which defend the rule of law."
Guvernul socialist din România trebuie să retragă Ordonanța privind dezincriminarea și să respecte statul de dreptBruxelles, 1 februarie 2017
Partidul Popular European (PPE) este îngrijorat de cei mai recenți pași ai Guvernului din România privind dezincriminarea abuzului în serviciu prin intermediul unei ordonanțe de urgență. În lumina acestor evoluții, președintele PPE, Joseph Daul, face următoarea declarație:
"Sunt îngrijorat față de cei mai recenți pași ai Guvernului socialist din România care slăbesc sistemul de justiție prin intermediul unei ordonanțe de urgență privind dezincriminarea abuzului în serviciu, precum și printr-un proiect de lege privind grațierea. Adoptarea acestor legi nocive în mijlocul nopții contravine tuturor principiilor democrației și transparenței.
Sistemul de justiție din România a devenit, în ultima vreme, independent și transparent, iar Guvernul României încearcă acum să-l slăbească. Justiția trebuie să servească, în primul rând, poporul, nu pe politicienii corupți. Această ordonanță nu servește poporul și nici nu este în acord cu un sistem de justiție independent. Din contră, slăbește justiția și subminează încrederea oamenilor în instituțiile statului.
Lupta anticorupție trebuie să continue. Un guvern care slăbește lupta anticorupție acționează împotriva intereselor oamenilor. PPE se solidarizează cu cetățenii din România, cu sistemul de justiție care își îndeplinește datoria și cu toate instituțiile și forțele politice care apără statul de drept."
The EPP Manifesto outlines the basic principles of the Party summary.
The EPP Manifesto outlines the basic principles of the Party summarising who we are, what our values are, what challenges are we facing and what vision we have for the future. The Manifesto was developed in parallel to the EPP Platform document within the EPP Working Group 1 for “European Policy”.
