PNL head Orban: 'Liberals file bill to reverse compensatory remedy law'

The National Liberal Party (PNL) is to file in Parliament this Monday a bill to reverse the compensatory remedy law, the party's Chairman Ludovic Orban announced.

"We decided today to submit a bill to repeal Law 169 on the compensatory remedy, also accompanied by a set of amendments to the Criminal Code regarding the early release from prison, so as to increase the duration of detention, especially for violent crimes," Orban said at the end of the meeting of PNL's Executive Bureau.

He added that a solution to this problem must be urgently found.

"For two years now, the PSD-ALDE alliance has been governing to the benefit of offenders or of those about to convicted. (...) They created a social phenomenon, endangering the life, integrity and personal belongings of each citizen, by the early release of nearly 14,000 detainees, many of whom have relapsed and committed crimes against Romanian citizens," Orban emphasized.
