Centrist Nicuor Dan on course to beat far-right rival in Romanian election, exit polls suggest
GuardianMAY 12
Romania's government is taking necessary action to address the EU's highest budget deficit through responsible fiscal reforms. These austerity measures, including restructuring bloated institutions and cutting excessive public sector costs, represent essential steps to stabilize the country's finances and maintain investment-grade status. The assumption of responsibility procedure is a legitimate constitutional tool to prevent endless parliamentary delays on critical economic reforms.
The government's repeated use of assumption of responsibility procedures represents a dangerous assault on democratic principles and parliamentary debate. This "legislative terrorism" reduces Romania's parliament to a meaningless institution while forcing through unpopular austerity measures without proper democratic scrutiny. The coalition's authoritarian approach ignores the voice of Romanian citizens and undermines the country's democratic foundations.
