  • Nicușor Dan, President, stated that Parliament bears the primary responsibility for the current situation regarding the statute of limitations.
  • He believes a legislative correction was needed but was not implemented over several years.
  • The European Court of Justice recently made a decision concerning the statute of limitations.

Nicușor Dan, President, has placed the blame for the current predicament concerning the statute of limitations squarely on the shoulders of Parliament. He asserted that a necessary legislative correction was overdue and that Parliament's failure to act over several years has led to the present situation.

Dan's comments follow a recent decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) related to the statute of limitations. While the specifics of the CJEU's ruling are not detailed in this context, Dan's reaction suggests it has created or highlighted a significant issue that requires legislative intervention.

He emphasized that the legislative correction "was not made in some years." This points to a prolonged period of inaction or indecision within the legislative body, despite the apparent need for reform. The implication is that parliamentary procedures or political will have failed to address the issue effectively.

The President's statement frames the situation as a failure of governance, specifically within the legislative branch. It suggests that the executive or judicial branches may be facing challenges or limitations due to this parliamentary oversight, necessitating a clear call for legislative accountability.

The main blame for this situation lies with Parliament because a legislative correction was needed, which did not happen over the years.
