"Madam President, I would like to highlight the situation in Romania regarding the blatant violation of the principles of the rule of law by the current government. The arrest of a prominent member of the opposition, Constantin Nicolescu, an arrest announced prior to the start of the judicial hearing and without any hard evidence, demonstrates the undemocratic way in which the current government is acting. The arrest carried out by political order, along with the contempt shown to ordinary citizens through the antisocial measures adopted by the government, is bringing out onto the streets the people who have been demeaned and condemned to poverty. With the aim of quelling the discontent against abusive, antidemocratic measures, the government has arranged the purchase of anti-riot equipment, amounting to EUR 10 million. All this paints a clear picture of political dictatorship and of what will happen in the future if these actions which contravene European values go unpunished. We are not protesting against justice, but against politically imposed abuses. The European Union is demanding respect for democracy in countries such as Tunisia and Egypt, but this must be strictly observed in Member States."@en1
