Liderii PPE și Renew cer blocarea fondurilor PNRR pentru România. „Amendamentul Fritz” încalcă statul de drept și dreptul UE

Leaders of the European People's Party and Renew Europe have urged the European Commission to block Romania's PNRR funds due to concerns over recent legislative changes. They argue that the 'Fritz amendment' undermines democracy and violates EU law. The amendment, which retroactively affects local officials found in conflict of interest, is seen as unconstitutional and politically motivated. The letter emphasizes the need for the Commission to act before the August 31 deadline for reform milestones. They call for a thorough evaluation of the integrity reform in Romania, warning that failure to reconsider the legislation could lead to the loss of European funds.
