Romanian Democrat Liberals Say Minister Liability Law Is Unconstitutional

"Beyond aspects concerning constitutional law alone, we cannot help noticing that when dignitaries are concerned, the tendency is to make the procedure as complicated as possible. Any additional procedure gets us thinking about delays in the application of the law," said Radulescu.

He added that, for the minister liability law, links not mentioned by the Constitution were introduced, namely the Prime Minister and the justice minister, that article 16 was completely reintroduced, after having previously been dubbed unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court, and that, in the new law does not take into consideration the members of the government who are not members of Parliament as well, for whom the criticized text does not mention any procedures.

As for the law on the statement and checking of dignitary wealth, the democrat liberals point towards the phrase "unjustifiable income," saying it is not in accordance with constitutional provisions, and it needs to be replaced with the phrase "illicit nature of gain."
