Gold wants to change the law of the Constitutional Court to “prevent electoral abuse”. The main proposals

The party led by George Simion announced on Sunday that it has submitted a legislative project in Parliament aimed at amending Law no. 47/1992 regarding the organization and functioning of the Constitutional Court.

The political formation stated that the purpose of the approach is “to prevent in the future the electoral abuse and to restore the public confidence in the democratic process.”

“The initiative comes as a result of the coup on December 6, when the Constitutional Court has decided to cancel the entire presidential electoral process, without the existence of a preliminary challenge and in the absence of a clear legal framework that will allow such a radical measure,” says the gold representatives.

They also argue that the legislative project initiated by the party's parliamentarians aims to harmonize the national legislation with the recommendations made by the Venice Commission in the report published in March.

According to gold, the main proposed changes are:

• The express prohibition of the possibility that the electoral process will be canceled ex officio by the Constitutional Court, in the absence of thoroughly motivated and proven appeals.
• The introduction of strict conditions for the invalidation of the elections, which involve fraud or serious violations, likely to influence the result of the poll.
• The obligation of the Constitutional Court to detail in detail any invalidation decision, by presenting the evidence and the way in which the irregularities affected the result of the vote.

“Romanians have the right to correct elections and the certainty that their vote is respected. We cannot afford to be vitiated after non -transparent and lacking decisions. By this initiative, gold wants to protect democracy and to ensure that such abuses can no longer be repeated,” said the representatives of George.
