Politics grows rude – Miruna Munteanu – Ziua – read here -
“We live in a kind of outskirts ceaselessly hysterical. In press conferences and debates broadcast live our politicians call each other names with mad voluptuousness. They are unable to argue in polemics, they just swear each other. They seem no longer able to find words tough enough to confuse the adversaries. They accuse each other of uniquely villain things, looking so innocent that it makes our hearts stop beating. Then nothing happens. The accusations aren't confirmed or denied in any court, just as the one who expressed them doesn't pay for it. And the scandal goes on and it intensifies”.POLITICS
Each institution with its law – Anca Hriban, Razvan Gheorghe, Adrian Ilie & Cristian Andrei – Ziua – read here -“Both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate want to get involved in the cases against 4 former and present ministers among the 8 state officials the President placed under criminal investigations. These 4 state officials are MPs too. According to the officials of both Chambers, the Parliament is to consent to the opening of criminal inquiry against Paul Pacuraru, Codrut Seres, Miron Mitrea and Adrian Nastase. Daniel Morar, a head of the DNA (National-Anti Corruption Department), claims there is no need for such consent from the Parliament. As always, the difference in opinion is emerging from the interpretations of legislative norms. The DNA official argues that the President's consent is enough and he adds the Constitutional Court's decision is clear“.
