Minister of Justice Tudorel Toader on Monday stated, in relation to his earlier comment that constitutional loyalty excludes any such action or inaction likely to interfere with the activity of a parliamentary committee, that it was just a statement of principles and that he didn't have anyone in particular in mind.
"I've made a statement, a statement of principles. A statement in which, in part, I have elaborated on the content of the principle of constitutional loyalty, a principle that means respect of the constitutional values, a principles that derives from the exigencies and rules of the fundamental law. Based on this principle and considering that this was a pretty recent discussion, the one I had about the parliamentary committee, I've made another statement of principles. One should not forget that the rules of organization and functioning of a parliamentary committee require also a previous control for constitutionality. The Constitutional Court said that the rules observe the exigencies of the Constitution. Thus, constitutional loyalty is a generally applicable rule for any guest or invoked person, a person who can not interfere with the activity of the committee. I didn't refer to anyone in particular by this. This is valid for anyone, regardless of the rank, office held and dignity," explained Tudorel Toader, at the Ministry of Justice headquarters.
