Romania: Nobody is above the law!

To members of the Romanian parliament:

We call on you to immediately withdraw all recent amendments to the penal code that increase immunity for politicians from corruption charges. We also call on you to block the proposed amnesty bill and to launch a broader legal review of our anti-corruption laws and ensure that they are in line with international standards. We count on you to lead Romania’s efforts against corruption and organised crime.

Romania: Nobody is above the law!

The Romanian parliament has just voted on amendments that would decriminalise corruption. Giving politicians immunity to steal from the people, lie to their constituents, and trade away our country, this law could be one of the worst things that’s ever happened to Romania -- unless we stop it now.

Romania already has 28 MPs convicted or currently on trial on corruption -- with this law, our politicians could turn our country into a failed state with impunity. But President Basescu has promised to send back the bill to the Parliament -- if we raise our voices now, we can let our Parliamentarians know that the people will never accept it.

Romanians have fought hard to combat corruption -- let’s make sure the parliament doesn’t undo years of progress. Sign now and demand our parliamentarians take the necessary steps to get these laws modified. When we reach 50,000, we’ll deliver our voices to key politicians and the media.
