EXCLUSIV Comisia Europeană confirmă primirea scrisorii liderilor PPE și Renew privind amendamentul Fritz: ”Legea integrității va fi evaluată la ultima cerere de plată din PNRR”

The European Commission confirmed receipt of a letter from PPE and Renew Europe leaders warning that the 'Fritz amendment' violates the rule of law. They emphasized that the amendment could undermine democracy and called for urgent intervention before the August 31 deadline. The amendment, which retroactively affects local officials found in conflict of interest, is seen as targeting Timișoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz. The leaders urged a thorough evaluation of the integrity reform in Romania to prevent the loss of European funds.
