The mayor of the capital said on Wednesday evening, at the debate from Romania TV, that the reasons why the processes in Romania last are because we do not have enough judges, and their allocation is disproportionate, but also because there is no connection between the Judges' Corps and the Ministry of Justice.
“Hundreds of thousands of repetitive issues are judged endlessly. There must be a connection between them and the Ministry of Justice, in order to transpose into the law, and the judges to focus on things really new,” said Nicușor Dan.
The candidate in the race for Cotroceni said that “there are large areas of corruption-one that burns us all in our pockets, the big tax evasion-at which the parquet does not look. I see that there is corruption in real estate, in wood trafficking, in the drug trafficking area.
The chief of the SRI, “someone from the area of civil society in the broad sense”
Asked if he negotiated the appointment of the SRI chief with someone in politics, Nicușor Dan replied “No”.
He added that, if the president becomes, the head of the SRI will be “someone in the area of civil society in a broad sense, not from NGOs, but with experience in the back. I do not have a name at this time. It is a discussion …”.
“The intelligence services have their role in a society, except that the role of the services must end when they have done the information. The prosecutor's office that has to investigate,” said the mayor of the Capital.
Nicușor Dan participated alone in the organized electoral debate, on Wednesday night, by Romania TV, in which George Simion had initially confirmed his presence.
