The Social Democratic Party (PSD, major at rule, ed.n.) and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE, minor at rule, ed.n.) do not have the courage to issue a normative act on amnesty and pardon and are therefore trying, through "all possible subterfuges", to get the same result, National Liberal Party (PNL, the Opposition, ed.n.) leader Ludovic Orban says, referring to the draft emergency ordinance announced by Minister Tudorel Toader, which will allow the persons convicted by unlawfully constituted panels and who are no longer in term to file appeals for annulment.
"There is no basis for the decision of the CCR [Constitutional Court of Romania, ed.n.], PSD-ALDE have an obsession: amnesty and pardon. Without the possibility or courage to issue such a normative act, they are trying to achieve the same result, namely amnesty and pardon, through all possible subterfuges. Let us remember that since 2013 PSD has been trying to adopt the law on amnesty and pardon and only because of the position of the National Liberal Party this law has not been adopted and is not adopted to this very day also because of the opposition of President Iohannis and the National Liberal Party. It is very difficult for us to influence the decisions at the level of the Constitutional Court and they have generated countless false conflicts between the authorities in order to obtain decisions of the Constitutional Court to create different advantages for those who are on trial and are to be convicted and also for those who have been irrevocably sentenced. That you should come in now to say that you are giving an emergency ordinance to reinstate in term those who have were convicted, I find it deeply unconstitutional and it has no ground in the CCR's decision," Orban said.
He added that, according to the CCR's decision, there is no ground for issuing such an emergency ordinance, and those who have were convicted must execute their sentence.
Justice Minister Tudorel Toader announced on Sunday evening that he has drawn up an emergency ordinance draft to give people who were convicted by "unlawfully constituted" panels and who are no longer in term the possibility to file appeals for annulment.
"We have prepared a draft emergency ordinance for the restoration of all those who have been convicted by unlawfully established panles. They will be able to appeal in the annulment, reinstated in term by ordinance, and the court, in a legally constituted panel, will judge and, if they are guilty, will pay, if they are not guilty, there is certainly no ground for them to pay," Toader said.
