PPE şi Renew cer Comisiei Europene să blocheze tranşa de 770 de milioane de euro din PNRR pentru România din cauza amendamentului Fritz

Two major political groups in the European Parliament are urging the European Commission to condition the release of €770 million to Romania due to concerns over a law affecting Timișoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz. Manfred Weber and Valérie Hayer argue that the amendment to the integrity law poses risks to the rule of law and EU compatibility. The Constitutional Court has deemed the amendment constitutional, but the leaders stress that EU funds should not be used for political power games. They emphasize the need for adherence to the rule of law as a condition for accessing European funds, urging the Commission to intervene before the law is enacted.
