Radu Marinescu, the Minister of Justice, announced plans to lower the age at which minors can be held criminally responsible due to increasing incidents in schools. Currently, minors under 14 cannot be prosecuted, but discussions are underway to potentially lower this threshold or establish criteria for accountability. The Ministry aims to enhance the effectiveness of the law regarding minors, emphasizing careful evaluation and consultation with experts. Additionally, a working group has been formed to address school violence, focusing on increasing security measures, improving psychological support, and tightening sanctions for violent acts in educational settings.
