CCR explică de ce poate pierde Fritz mandatul: „Nu sancționăm persoana, ci protejăm funcția” MOTIVARE • Newsweek România

The Constitutional Court of Romania clarified that the termination of a mandate due to conflicts of interest is not a retroactive sanction but a measure to protect the integrity of public office. This decision, related to the 'Fritz amendment' in the new Integrity Law, states that elected officials found incompatible before the law's enactment must lose their mandate within 30 days if the legal effects persist. The court emphasized that the law does not impose new penalties for past actions but addresses ongoing situations that compromise the integrity of the office. The ruling directly impacts Timișoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz, who reacted to the decision on social media.
