Over 27,000 Romanians have signed so far an online petition that proposes a RON 1 symbolic limit under which abuse of office is no longer considered a crime. Setting up a limit for abuse of office has become mandatory in Romania following a decision of the country’s Constitutional Court. The interim justice minister Tudorel Toader started on Wednesday, June 28, another series of public debates on this topic at the Justice Ministry’s headquarters. In this context, the local de-clic community, a civic activism platform, has decided to launch an online petition that asks the Ministry of Justice and the Parliament to set a limit of RON 1. RON 1 is the symbolic sum that would make us all equal before the law,” reads the petition’s presentation.
