The Minister of Justice, Cătălin Predoiu, announced on Tuesday that 546 cases of contagion by the new coronavirus were registered in the courts, of which five ended up in Intensive Care, and three people died. “This is not about stopping the act of justice, but we can adapt the rules,” Predoiu told a news conference.
Statements of the Minister of Justice:
- About EPPO: We had an exchange of letters with the main prosecutor (Laura Codruța Kovesi-no.). We conclude that Romania will initially delegate 15 prosecutors, with 5 in reserve. Parliament’s plans to operationalize the EPPO are dragging on. Marcel Ciolacu said that he has good communication with me, but it does not translate into facts. I call on the majority of the PSD in parliament to abandon the passive attitude of blocking laws due to inactivity.
- The fight against corruption must go hand in hand with respect for rights
- I resume the message to prosecutors to combat corruption, to investigate any case, as well as trafficking in human beings and minors
- I am convinced that the results will appear in the next period.
- About the Teldrum file – I have no way of knowing what the prosecutors are doing in the files, I will pass this concern on to the press.
- Let’s say that the Prosecutor’s Office is in the relaunch period
- Related to judicial infections – What can MJ do? Let’s see if we can adapt the measurements in some situations.
- In how many cases are there outbreaks? I have no DSP information on outbreaks, only cases
- It is not a critical situation at the moment and we will not wait to reach a critical situation
- It is necessary to intervene at the level of the SCM to be able to support the delegations to prosecutors and smaller courts, where the biggest problem related to COVID cases is
- About SIIJ: I remind you that the Ministry of Justice has fulfilled its objective, it sent it to the Parliament (project-no), it is not a lack of will of the Ministry of Justice to repeal this section
- I have always wanted the abolition of the SIIJ, I pointed out that the possibilities of a project in parliament are 0
- Here the position of the PSD is clear, they do not want to listen, I have not received any proposal to maintain the SIIJ
