Opposition proposes vetting politicians

Opposition proposes vetting politicians. “Vetting of politicians is a completely disconnected and independent process from the vetting in justice” said a Member of Parliament. He reiterated that this process doesn’t have any connection or any negative influence on the vetting of the judiciary. The vetting of politicians does not exempt, and has no impact on, the criminal investigations of politicians (and persons related to them) carried out either by district prosecutions, the current serious crimes prosecution or the Special anti-corruption structure (SPAK) and Bureau of Investigation (which have yet to be established). The opposition will submit questions about this issue to the secretariat of the commission for experts in Parliament, so that Parliament may respond. Meanwhile, a deputy from the Socialist Party said that the majority is in favour of vetting in politics and has demonstrated this will by approving the Law “On guaranteeing the integrity of the persons elected and/or appointed to, or exercising public functions” (commonly referred to as the law on decriminalization) and supporting the establishment of special institutions to fight corruption.

Kyrgyzstan wants transparency to curb corruption

Kyrgyzstan wants transparency to curb corruption. In a nationwide poll of Kyrgyzstan in February, an overwhelming 95% said that corruption is a big problem for the country. Despite this, the Kyrgyz people are optimistic. 66% in the same survey believed that the country is headed in the right direction. Last year the country launched a national vision called Taza Koom, meaning ‘transparent society’, to use technology to transform the economy into a “digital silk road” hub and build trust with citizens. Technology will play a huge role in tackling corruption, believes Talant Sultanov, an architect of Taza Koom and advisor to the former Prime Minister. “The officials prone to corrupt practices and the interest groups realise how digitalisation and transparency could put a brake on their way of doing things,” tells Sultanov.

Romanian magistrates rally to support rule of law

Romanian magistrates rally to support rule of law. Hundreds of Romanian magistrates held a silent protest in support of an independent judiciary in capital Bucharest on 16 September after a slew of legal changes by the ruling Social Democrats in one of the European Union’s most corrupt states. The Social Democrats’ legal changes have raised concerns over the rule of law from the European Commission, which is keeping Romania’s justice system under special monitoring, the U.S. State Department, and thousands of magistrates, while triggering the country’s largest street protests in decades. On Sunday, magistrates stood on the steps of Bucharest’s Court of Appeals holding banners which said “For an independent justice”. “The independence of judges and prosecutors is not their privilege or a personal prerogative but a necessity to ensure that the judiciary is capable through its institutions to fulfil its purpose,” Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar said in a statement. Judges and prosecutors were protesting changes to the criminal code, supporting the prosecutor general and asking that lawmakers consult the Venice Commission, the Council of Europe’s advisory body on constitutional matters.

Concerns raised over Romania's anti-corruption chief nomination

Concerns raised over Romania's anti-corruption chief nomination. Concerns have been raised over alleged links between the nominee set to be Romania’s new anti-corruption chief and the ruling Social Democrats. Tudorel Toader, the country’s justice minister, put forward Adina Florea to head up the country’s National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). It comes after he pushed for the sacking of the last person in the post, Laura Kovesi, who had been praised in the West for cracking down on graft in what is considered to be one of the EU's most-corrupt countries. President Klaus Iohannis, a centrist politician often at odds with the ruling leftists over corruption policy, will have the final say on whether to appoint Florea, a prosecutor from Constanta.
