Premier Mihai Tudose, speaking on Thursday evening on a TV channel, said that certain changes regarding the laws of justice must be made, as no civilized and functional state can exist without independent justice.
The head of the government cautioned that justice should not be the "boss" of the others.
"We want a normal Romania, we want a normal country, but (...) there is no civilized, functional state without independent justice, yet independent doesn't mean that it should be the boss of everyone else. No state exists without being headed by a government authority, but this is the executive arm, it does not rule above all, and the same goes for justice and everybody else. In the legislating area, Parliament is the fundamental institution of democracy, but this does not mean that Parliament is the head of justice or (...) that Parliament hands down rulings," said Tudose.
According to the PM, a very clear and well-defined legislative system is needed.
"If everyone see to their own province and do it well, and we also have a legal framework in place to put things in order, and each power is functional and prevents the others from overstepping each other - and in fact this is not necessarily about the power itself, but rather about individuals, their exponents, as we don't talk about an antagonism en bloc to each other but about personal vendettas or, who knows, someone's thirst for grandeur and taking someone else as a target. In my opinion, a very clear and well-defined legislative system is indeed necessary," Tudose concluded.AGERPRES .
