Romanian judge Cristi Danileț is of the opinion that the Law on the Prosecutor's Office can be supplemented. In his opinion, the current version of the law is a job half-done. The statement was made on "Cabinetul din umbră" program, Jurnal TV.
"My objection is related to the selection of an outsider. Do we really have confidence that a policeman, a lawyer or someone from a criminal prosecution body can be brought in tomorrow and put in charge of the Prosecutor's Office?”, wondered Cristi Danileț. In his opinion, this would be a mistake.
Socialist MP Vasile Bolea argues that if fundamental justice reforms are desired, then changes must start from self-administration bodies, such as the Superior Council of Magistracy and the Superior Council of Prosecutors. In order to accomplish this, a much deeper analysis is required. "After all the details have been analysed, let's commence with specific reforms of self-administration bodies. In the end, they still need to have greater independence and the necessary tools to cleanse themselves of the elements that negatively affect the image of the justice system”, claims the MP.
Mihai Popșoi, PAS MP, ACUM bloc, argues that the immunity withdrawals that have taken place over the course of the last few days in the Parliament do not represent something out of the ordinary, just the fact that justice has begun to serve its purpose. According to him, things couldn't have happened sooner. "I don't think anyone could have imagined prosecutor Harunjen requesting immunity withdrawal for Cebotari or Șor. A new prosecutor was required and the new prosecutor needed time in order to process all the cases. A plethora of dossiers that had to be gathered as pieces of a puzzle in order to reveal the larger picture”, explains Mihai Popșoi.
Ion Guzun, legal adviser at the Center for Legal Resources, believes that the Prosecutor's Office cannot be apolitical. "It's normal for them to communicate and to interact with each other. However, their interactions should not cross red lines”, said Ion Guzun.
