The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Social Democrat Marcel Ciolacu, stated on Thursday that the rulers have "never" discussed compulsory vaccination, and the protests on this topic were triggered by "a series of lies."
He was asked if he had changed his position because of the protests.
"No, definitely not. The protests have been triggered by a series of lies, in Romania, until now, and I would like to call on the press to stop these liars, because no one has ever come up with a bill meant to force vaccination," Ciolacu said at the Palace of Parliament.
The PSD (Social Democratic Party) leader maintained that the proposal of Minister Alexandru Rafila regarding the introduction of the COVID green certificate depending on the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections is the best.
"I think that Mr Rafila's proposal is based on the incidence, the cases and the pressure on the ICU system, which is the best approach. I don't think that removing certain categories, for some in one way and for others in another way, would do any good. It is a rule of common sense, which we must admit is not a constitutional rule," explained Marcel Ciolacu.
