PSD's Dragnea, about ordinance amending Criminal Codes: Colleagues motivate it is story that never ends

Social Democratic Party (PSD) leader Liviu Dragnea argued that an ordinance on the amendments of the criminal codes could be given as "there is a story that never ends" in this regard according to Agerpres.

"Our colleagues reasoned that it is a history that is not over yet. And I said, as far as the constitutional articles are concerned, I would not see why an emergency ordinance should not be given," Dragnea said at the end of PSD's National Executive Committee (CExN).

Prime Minister Viorica Dancila announced on Monday that the appropriateness of the approval of an amendment ordinance of the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code for the adoption of those articles from the codes that were declared constitutional was discussed and decided in PSD's CExN.

Asked if there was a discussion about adopting an ordinance to amend the codes, the premier said, "Yes, there was such a discussion within the CExN. It was unanimously decided that we should see the appropriateness of promulgating the articles declared constitutional by an emergency ordinance. More details in this regard, because it contains matters of a legal nature, will be given by the Minister of Justice."
