Illiberal Democracy: The hybrid war waged by the PSD and the Constitutional Court against the rule of law

Romania's Constitutional Court has upheld a controversial amendment targeting Dominic Fritz, raising concerns about the rule of law and democracy. This decision allows retroactive application of laws, contradicting constitutional principles. The ruling is seen as a political maneuver by the ruling PSD to suppress independent political figures and maintain control over the political landscape. The amendment was linked to a legislative package tied to significant EU funding, highlighting the implications for international relations and governance in Romania.
