Cum justifică CCR „Amendamentul Fritz” din noua lege a Integrității

The Constitutional Court of Romania upheld the constitutionality of the 'Fritz Amendment' in the new Integrity Law, emphasizing the application of the law to ongoing legal situations to protect public integrity. The court acknowledged the absolute principle of non-retroactivity but stated that the new law applies to future legal situations and those in progress. This decision affects public officials found incompatible or in conflict of interest, leading to the cessation of their public functions within 30 days of the law's enactment. The court's ruling aims to maintain the integrity of public office and prevent systemic risks to constitutional protections.
