PPE și Renew îi cer Ursulei von der Leyen să blocheze 770 de milioane de euro pentru România. Motivul: „Amendamentul Fritz”

Two major political groups in the European Parliament demand that Ursula von der Leyen withhold €770 million from Romania unless integrity law reforms are made. The dispute centers on the 'Fritz amendment', which could lead to the removal of Timișoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz. The leaders of PPE and Renew Europe argue that EU funds should not be used for political power games and emphasize the need for compliance with the rule of law. They request a thorough review of the integrity legislation and express concerns about transparency and proportionality of sanctions. The deadline for Romania to meet specific milestones is approaching, raising urgency in the matter.
