Culmea motivării CCR prin care a aprobat ”amendamentul Fritz” în ciuda principiului constituțional al neretroactivității legii: judecătorii susțin că respingerea amendamentului PSD-AUR ar fi fost ”un regres al statului de drept” / Citește formulările

The Constitutional Court of Romania upheld a controversial amendment allowing retroactive penalties for public officials, which has sparked significant debate. The judges argued that preventing Parliament from legislating such penalties would undermine the rule of law. This decision marks a historic shift, as it is the first instance since the fall of communism where civil law effects are applied retroactively. Critics have pointed out that this ruling contradicts a fundamental constitutional principle against retroactivity. The court's reasoning, while complex, emphasizes the need to protect the integrity of public office and maintain public trust in state actions.
