Justice laws have been much debated in recent years, have brought hundreds of thousands of people to the streets and made us more attentive and rigorous in following their legislative course. Today, the package of Justice Laws has passed the Government and is heading to Parliament. Therefore, we ask the presidents of the two parliamentary chambers, Marcel Ciolacu - President of the Chamber of Deputies and Alina Gorghiu - Vice-President with powers of President of the Romanian Senate, that the works of the parliamentary committees be public, transparent and open to the participation of interested actors in the field. We believe that an independent judiciary is fundamental in a functioning democratic society and we ask the two Speakers of the Chambers to consider the demands of civil society related to the parliamentary legislative process of the Justice Acts. To: Ms. Alina Gorghiu, Vice President with...
Last year we sent suggestions and proposals to the authorities to make the Whistleblowers Law a firmer legal framework that would guarantee their protection. We believe that whistleblowers are a fundamental link in maintaining ethical and integrity work, both in institutions and in any other professional environment. So, this month, on August 28, we are organizing an introductory workshop on whistleblowers together with Recorder and expert Codru Vrabie. Participants will learn about the legislation that currently protects them and will be presented with concrete examples of collaboration between whistleblowers and the media / NGOs. When?

The European Commission has just published its annual report on the state of the rule of law. The recommendations for Romania are things that we have been insisting on throughout the last year. Let's hope that the governors will be more open to listen to the recommendations if they come from the Commission. Here they are: let's make sure that the justice laws (yes, those broken by Dragnea & co in 2018) provide guarantees for the independence of the judiciary. Keywords: disciplinary measures against magistrates, special section, European standards, opinions of the Venice Commission. to regulate lobbying for parliamentarians. to solve the DNA's operational challenges, including the recruitment of prosecutors + closely monitoring the impact of the new system for investigating magistrates' corruption. strengthening the rules so as to ensure the independence of the public media, according to European standards. to ensure "real" public consultation before we…

Funky Citizens. Making things right since 2012.
Prin anii ’90 Funky Citizens aş spune ca erau golanii din Piaţa Universităţii. Tot despre educaţie civică, despre respectarea drepturilor, despre egalitate între oameni, despre a cunoaşte şi a putea alege argumentat comunitatea din care îţi doreşti să faci parte şi în care să-ţi poţi creşte fericit viitorul. Urmăresc cu atenţie activitatea voastră şi ma bucură fiecare zi de existenţă.
Funky Citizens sunt educația civică pe care nu am primit-o pentru că nu eram oricum luați în serios, pentru că nu contam, pentru că nu trebuia să contăm. Am fi încurcat șpăgile și bunul sinistru mers al lucrurilor. Am învățat multe de la ei, dar cel mai mult am învățat că a ști înseamnă a avea curaj. Vă mulțumesc pentru tot ce dați lumii. Și mie. The grit to go on. ❤️
Oameni pasionați care se dedică pentru o societate mai transparentă și mai dreaptă.
Oameni mișto, liberi și cu umor.
