Floor leader of the Social-Democratic MPs Florin Paslaru announced on Monday in the plenary sitting having filed a simple motion on justice, titled "Lies can kill too," signed by 80 MPs.
Chamber of Deputies Speaker Florin Iordache said that a sitting of the Standing Bureau was scheduled for Monday evening to set the time for Tuesday's debates, and that an initial proposition was for them to take place at 14:30 hrs.
National leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Liviu Dragnea Monday said the motion targets minister of Justice Raluca Pruna. On Sunday evening Dragnea told a televised broadcast that it is "a very serious issue that a government member publicly admits having lied to ECHR judges."
Dragnea thus referred to JusMin Raluca Pruna's telling a sitting of the Supreme Council of Magistrates on Thursday that she had lied to ECHR when she said a budget of 150 million euros each was available for seven penitentiaries, explaining that the money was actually just on paper.
"You know how this goes, Mr. Justice, it's like with the penitentiaries in connection with which I lied to the ECHR - and lied is the correct term - because I thought that if I am handed a document carrying the signature of an authority of the Romanian state ... So I lied there saying that we had a budget of 150 million euro each for seven penitentiaries, ergo almost one billion euro, but those were just good intentions, because in reality we don't have this money earmarked in the budget," Raluca Pruna said.
