Social Democrats Say Parliament Cannot Be Involved In Just Min Appointment

Diaconescu said that Parliament’s involvement in the appointment of Nicolai as justice minister would infringe the constitutional law.

The official said that Romania’s image abroad and  the political class’s credibility within the country is currently suffering because of the Nicolai scandal.
