Prime minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Thursday that Romania is not prepared for the ECHR's decision regarding the legal status of same-sex couples.
The PM was asked, in a show on Europa FM, what response our country will give, until March 25, to the proposals set in the ECHR decision regarding same-sex couples, agerpres reports.
"Romanian society is not ready for a decision at this moment. It is neither the first [ECHR decision] nor the last to condemn. Romania was also condemned for the treatment in prisons. It is not one of my priorities and, I repeat, not I think Romania is ready at this moment. I'm not an obtuse man, I'm part of the world, I have no reservations, I have friends who have relations with another man, I have no problem, I'm speaking now from the point of view of the prime minister", stated Ciolacu.
Asked, in the context, whether Romania "will violate this decision of the ECHR", the prime minister replied: "It is neither the first nor the last, but I believe that the Romanian society is not yet ready for this".
