It's hilarious to see how foreigners deeply misunderstand the political situation in Romania, and how transparent they are in trying to use Romania's shit for a propaganda video against EU. And a bad propaganda video at that.
Some Indian sounding bloke is trying to convince the world that a single Court of Appeal ruling against a decision of the Constitution Court has any merit.
To put it in a context Americans can understand, it's the equivalent to how your courts tried to control how Trump conducts immigration policy. Basically the Appeal Court has no power over the Constitution Court. In fact, no court and neither any other state institution have any power over decisions made by the Constitution Court, just like nobody has power over what the US Supreme Court decides.
And in fact, by the time this stupid video came out, the decision of the Appeal Court was already overturned, and the judge responsible for it is being investigated by his peers (a council of other judges that we have as an official institution) to make sure his decision wasn't influenced by corruption or political bias, or something like that.
There's a lot wrong with what happened at the end of last year, and this year, in Romania, but doing bad propaganda, and trying to use our country for your right-wing grift against EU, isn't helpful.
It serves only to discredit the people here who are upset with the cancelling of an election without a valid motivation, and evidence to back up the reason.

Yup. I think Șoșoacă is a complete joke of a person, but that decision was absolutely atrocious. At this point, you might as well straight out admit that EU is a fascist superstate, and all speech against EU government is illegal.
You can't possibly say about a state that it is independent if it is not allowed to decide on what alliances it makes with other states, and how can a state make those decisions if the elected politicians are not allowed to have opinions about such alliances?
>but it's in the Constitution, and the president is required to ensure the Constitution is upheld
Yeah, and the Constitution can require change and improvements. The president is also required to able to be smart enough and competent enough to recognize if that's the case and issue recommendations.
We don't elect politicians to blindly uphold laws put into place years or decades ago, we elect them to be able to change things when it is needed.
Instead, the Court basically forbade politicians from ever looking to improve the fundamental law.
What a fucking joke...
@ChristiJunior
It is Fascist, but in a more sneaky way, because it is trying to dissolve existing national identities, and replace them with the European identity. This has been a thing for a looong time. "EU citizenship" or "citizen of EU" have been phrases used by media and various organizations for many years.
I wouldn't be surprised if the influx of immigrants is because they were pissed that people wouldn't renounce their national identities and adopt "EU citizenship", so they're trying to speed it up by breaking nations. They're pissed that the average person still sees themselves as Romanian, French, German, etc., first and foremost. So they think they can break people to the point where Romanian has no meaning to them, and people only say "yeah, I'm European".
And I think it worked for Brits to some extent, to where a good portion of the country think anyone and anything is British. They probably didn't leave EU fast enough.
Y’all need Pinochetscu
