Basescu called on deputies to lay more focus on the adoption of the legislative proposition amending the Criminal Code and Law 286/2009 regarding the Criminal Code. He said the proposition was adopted by the Senate and is further subject to the Chamber’s final vote.
Chamber secretary Nicolae Mircovici on Monday said Basescu’s request was submitted to the Chamber’s committee for legal matters.
Liberal MP Eugen Nicolaescu blasted Basescu’s request, arguing “the president has no business forcing the Parliament to do its job.” He also said Basescu has made a habit of exerting total control over the Parliament.
