Cristian Tudor Popescu spoke at Digi24 about the conflict between Ludovic Orban and Valer Dorneanu, the president of the Constitutional Court. The journalist says that in terms of fixing the electoral date, the prime minister is right when he says that they cannot fix the parliamentarians on the day the elections will be held, because they are involved, they have a direct interest in this. “This is a very logical and very strong argument!”, Emphasizes Cristian Tudor Popescu. The CTP also points out that even if the PNL wins the elections, it will be difficult for it to govern because “this Constitutional Court will continue to work in favor of the PSD.”
Cristian Tudor Popescu: Mr. Dorneanu appealing to the Venice Commission, the Council of Europe … But when they made that decision on Laura Codruța Kovesi, did they call to see what the Venice Commission says? Before making that decision, did you turn to European bodies?
For example, in the Association of Constitutional Courts of Europe, where they now want to appeal. Then they asked “Is what we want to do good?”, So as not to end up telling the ECHR that what we are doing is very bad and against democratic rules. Not! Then they didn’t ask anything.
Orban is here! That doesn’t mean I like Orban in any way. But you are right in saying that parliamentarians cannot set a date for parliamentary elections, because they are involved, they have a direct interest in it. This is a very logical and very strong argument.
And in fact, it is the same story that is repeated with parliamentary immunity, where parliamentarians decide whether one of them will go to court or not. So here! We decide how long we stay in office. How to do that? Not well! Another institution must decide the date of the elections, and that institution, of course, cannot do it alone, but based on laws, regulations, which in this case made the Government – December 6 is the date of the parliamentary elections . Things have been going on for 30 years.
From this point of view, it is a decision that is not a novelty in this Court of Dorneanu. Or should I say: “Cut Alabama to Dorneanu ”. Who has another genitive grammar, Mr. Dorneanu. I also heard it on television today: “Parliament is a people. “”A to the people “, says Mr. Dorneanu. Being himself … he has two” cries “in his head, he is a university professor …” Parliament is a people. “
So maybe the PNL will win the elections now and make an alliance with the USR, with the PMP … Yes, but this Constitutional Court will continue working – regardless of the electoral result -, it will work in favor of the PSD. That will do it! And then I think it will still be difficult for the next government, or the government itself, I don’t know, to come.
