The peak of hypocrisy, in the USR version. The senator leader demands the violation of the Senate Regulations for the adoption of “No criminals in public office”

UPDATE The Save Romania Trade Union claims, in right of reply, that a legislative initiative whose deadline for the presentation of the report has been exceeded can be placed on the agenda of the full Senate. “The title of the article confuses readers. Article 89 of the Senate Rules clearly stipulates that a bill can be included in the plenary’s agenda without a report, if the deadline for submitting the report is exceeded,” states USR in a right of reply.

“The legal commission is in an embarrassing situation. The law became the prisoner of people like Şerban Nicolae or Carmen Dan, who refused to put it on the agenda. As a result, we have no report on this law. Instead, I insisted In the Leadership Committee that this law, given its importance, given its simplicity, can be voted on in the Plenary of the Senate tomorrow, when the session is scheduled. The answer was that there is a parliamentary custom that does not allow such a thing. I am ashamed explain to a million people who have signed up and are waiting to go to the referendum to say “There are no criminals in public office”, that due to a custom, such a simple law, which was verified by the RCC, which passed through the Chamber of Deputies, it cannot be voted on by the Romanian Senate (no, the statement can be heard between 0:33 – 1:40 of the video recording) “, declared the leader of the USR senators, Radu Mihail. Basically, for introduce an element of i integrity in the Constitution, the USR senator encouraged the violation of the Regulation.

The leader of the USR senators stressed that tomorrow he will insist on putting the initiative “No criminals in public office” on the agenda, even if he has no report.

“USR will continue to press. Tomorrow morning, in the Leaders Committee, we will ask the same thing. Tomorrow, in plenary session, if it does not reach the agenda, we will ask that it be on the agenda. It is unacceptable to have the opportunity to respond to the million Romanians they signed and did not.
