Individuals who display aggressive behaviour or cause damage to property belonging to the heritage of the Palace of Parliament could be banned from entering the premises for up to two years, according to a legislative proposal submitted by a group of MPs from the National Liberal Party (PNL), Social Democratic Party (PSD), Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) and the national minorities group.
As part of this proposal, an electronic register will be created to record the details of those who breach the rules.
The format and content of the Register, as well as the procedure for enforcing access bans, shall be approved by the administrators of the building within 30 days of the law coming into force.
"Any person who displays physically or verbally aggressive behaviour, including the use of offensive language, insults, or abuse, either in the courtyard or inside the Palace of Parliament, or who damages property belonging to the heritage of the Parliament through their actions, shall be banned from accessing the premises for a period ranging from one month to 24 months," the legislative proposal reads.
"Violation of the ban imposed under the provisions of this chapter shall constitute the offence of assault against a public official or other criminal offences, as defined by law," the legislative proposal further mentions.
According to the explanatory note, the proposed amendments aim to enhance security measures at parliamentary level and to ensure the prevention and sanctioning of physically or verbally aggressive behaviour, including the use of offensive language, insults, or abuse, whether in the courtyard or within the interior spaces managed by the building administrators, as well as the destruction of property belonging to the heritage of the Palace of Parliament.
The draft has been submitted to the Senate as the first notified chamber, with the Chamber of Deputies acting as the decision-making body.
