National leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) Calin Popescu-Tariceanu says the European Union should stop monitoring Romania's progress with judiciary reform and the fight against high-level corruption under the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), which he calls "biased, unfair and unequal."
He calls the progress reports under CVM "a direct attack on sovereignty."
He also wonders why "Bulgaria is comfortably patted on its back while Romania's back is still to the wall."
