Președintele Dan cere Parlamentului să reexamineze legea care permite construcția de baraje hidrotehnice în arii protejate, după ce Curtea Constituțională i-a respins sesizarea

President Nicușor Dan has requested Parliament to reexamine a law allowing hydropower dam construction in protected areas, citing environmental concerns. He previously challenged the law at the Constitutional Court, which rejected his appeal. The law, initiated by PSD senator Daniel Zamfir, aims to facilitate hydroenergy projects but has faced criticism for potentially undermining environmental protections. Dan's request emphasizes the need for updated evaluations of legislative necessity and effectiveness, considering changes in energy prices and environmental regulations since the law's adoption. He argues that the law lacks criteria for assessing the feasibility and sustainability of projects, which could lead to long-term derogations from environmental protections.
