EC To Release Report On Romanian Justice Sector Friday – President

The President added that the last thing Romania needs is for the report to mention the case of democrat liberal MP Dan Pasat (charged with corruption; the request for his immunity to be lifted did not garner enough votes) as a problem, or be suspicious of the High Council of Magistrates’ operation.

He also said „the Parliament is again in a difficult situation” and believes the report will read „the Parliament blocks access to justice,” if not „the vote in Parliament reflects the lack of political willpower.”
