The leader of the senators SOS Romania, Nadia Cerva, challenged at the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) and in the Senate the appointment of Mihai Busuioc, the former head of the Court of Accounts, as a constitutional judge, proposed by the PSD.
The appeal made by the senator from the party of Diana Şoșoaca comes in the context in which Mihai Busuioc was supported to reach the PSD CCR judge, and the proposal was voted in the Senate by the PSD-PNL-USR-UDMR coalition.
In the appeal filed with the RCC and Senate, consulted by Hotnews, it is shown that the appointment of Mihai Busuioc to the Constitutional Court was illegal and the decision is revoked because Busuioc “does not meet the legal conditions for occupying this high position”.

What does SOS Romania contest in the appointment of Mihai Busuioc
Cerva claims in his complaint that Mihai Busuioc does not meet the conditions of Article 143 of the Constitution, which stipulates that “the judges of the Constitutional Court must have a higher legal training, high professional competence and at least 18 years in the legal activity or in the higher legal education”.
The leader of the senators SOS Romania claims that Busuioc does not have a “superior legal training”: “it is not sufficient to graduate a higher education institution in the legal field, as” superior “requires this minimum mandatory stage required for any lawyer.”
Nadia Cerva argues that Busuioc has no age of at least 18 years in legal activity or higher legal education, required by the Constitution.
“It is found that Mr. Mihai Busuioc does not fully meet the demands imposed by the criteria regarding the higher legal training, as I explained to the previous one, nor those regarding the age of 18 years in the legal activity, as the professional activity of his reign has been concentrated, as it results from his professional route, predominantly in the field, the field of public administration.
