President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday called on the members of the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) to "effectively" support the implementation of the Venice Commission, Co-operation and verification Mechanism (CVM) and Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) recommendations.
The head of the state underscored that independent Justice is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining social balance.
He added that, 30 years after the fall of the communist regime, the justice system in Romania made "huge" progress not just at legislative and institutional level, but also at a deeper level of society.
"The wide participation in the referendum and its result shows that, anytime when there is an attempt to a break from the democratic values, Romanians react, forcing the decision-makers to reconnect with the aspirations of the society. Without unity around the fundamental values, our democracy risks to become a fragile one. Which is why we, the constitutional authorities, have the duty to respond to this mission and rise to the level of these expectations," explained President Iohannis.
