Consultations on justice laws - Dragnea: 'There is no need to resume legislative process; we have Ordinance 92 in Parliament'

"It was a relatively calm talk, during which Mr. President told us his opinion related to the justice laws, in the sense that the legislative process should be resumed. However, we don't think this would be necessary, for we have Ordinance 92 in Parliament, in the case of which parliamentary procedures were already initiated and which includes a large part of the recommendations of the Venice Commission, an ordinance that was proposed to the Government by Minister Toader, after the meeting he had in Strasbourg with experts of the Venice Commission. We have never refused to talk about the justice system in Romania. On the contrary, this was an assumed objective, for we already decided in 2016 not to make the mistake against to pretend we do not see what happens in Romania, to pretend that we do not see the abuses we were exposed to, unfortunately, and some Romanian citizens are still facing such abuses by a part of the justice laws in Romania. We cannot pretend there are no secret protocols, which are unconstitutional agreements, illegal, toxic that, in fact, have fueled the building of such occult organisations, which fed from important state institutions and blocked a part of the justice system in Romania," stated Dragnea.
