The Senate's Speaker Calin Popescu-Tariceanu said on Monday that the rule of law is still a "desideratum" for Romania.
"If rule of law had existed, then many things would not have happened. We would not have unauthorized rallies, we would not have teachers beaten in schools, we would not have people walking freely in the street and being assaulted right in front of the Government. If there were rule of law. The rule of law is still a desideratum and we will probably have to build something, to rebuild, to say 'yes, Romania is comparable to the western countries'," Tariceanu told Antena 3 private TV broadcaster.
In his opinion, the theme of the rule of law is highly politicized in the Romanian society.
"Otherwise, many slogans, very much politicizing of these things, with the effects that we see, internal effects, a state of uncertainty that some people of good faith are experiencing, because they are very misinformed and there is a massive action of misinforming them, and this happens also abroad, I have seen the two things just as well," Calin Popescu-Tariceanu said.
