The mission of the new Parliament is to make order in the national legislation and to restore the reputation of the institution, declared on Wednesday in the plenary session, the Deputies' Chamber Speaker, Liviu Dragnea. "The Romanian Parliament is an institution across which these past years have laid a questionable reputation. Maybe undeserving, some say, but at the same time, it is a fact. It is our mission to restore the reputation of the Parliament and the only way we can do that is by cooperating, by working with civic and national responsibility. I believe the second essential mission of the Parliament is to make order in Romanian legislation. Far too many laws have been adopted during the years, laws that contradict each other, that are inadequate, that confuse society and the relations between institutions," Dragnea maintained.
He added that he would initiate a parliamentary project through which, together with other competent institutions, but most importantly with the Government, the Parliament would restore order in legislation and clarify the relations among institutions. "This order is one of the fundamental conditions of law enforcement in Romania. I am convinced that together we can accomplish a true reform of constitutional legislation, we no longer have the right to miss this project. It is up to us to restore the constitutional power of Parliament and I want us to start together this project. The control activities the Parliament is entitled to exercise mustn't be feigned anymore. At the same time I would like to convey a very strong message - the Parliament is where the law is born but also the place were the abuse in its application is stopped. The year 2017 and the years that follow are not easy, we have all engaged in this electoral campaign in order to produce sustained economic growth and to bring welfare to Romanians. It is our duty to deliver laws that are both good and clear, to help Romanians believe in Romania," emphasized the Deputies' Chamber Speaker.
Dragnea also declared that new parties have entered Parliament, showing that this is a good thing for democracy, context in which he urged parliamentarians to leave aside conflicts and fight for bigger projects. "It is essential that the Opposition parties express their points of view loud and clear. (...) The fact that we are here today shows that people have had confidence in us, that they have put their hopes in us, have given us the chance to do something that hasn't been done and to straighten whatever has been crooked. I would like to urge you all that starting with today we try not only to be colleagues, but also partners, a team that pulls in the direction of the public welfare. We shouldn't all become a big, sole party, on the contrary, it is necessary that every party make its voice heard and fight for the ideas they believe in. What I ask of you is to look together at big projects, to leave aside petty interests when the country's interest is at stake. I invite you all to cooperate with national lucidity for greater causes and to keep political fights for the lesser ones," PSD leader also showed.
