"Mr President, I would like to highlight a number of serious abuses that have been committed by the government in Bucharest against local opposition MEPs, which are having a terrible impact on the citizens whom they represent in the European Parliament.
I am referring to the unprecedented situation in my county of Teleorman where the prefect is abusing his administrative power to block the activities of the local authorities, in spite of a number of legal judgments already issued in the relevant cases.
One serious example of this is the repeated attacks in court against the decisions approving the budgets for the County Council and in 34 locations, even though the prefect is not granted by law the powers to verify the suitability of administrative acts, but only their legality. The direct result of this is that any local funding is being suspended until the court issues its judgment. Several European projects are also at risk of being permanently compromised due to the accumulation of penalties and missed execution deadlines.
I call on the Commission to demand an explanation from the Romanian Government for the repeated, deliberate infringement of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and for blocking European projects, entailing particularly serious repercussions for a number of European citizens."@en1
