JusMin: I will have a talk with PM on the amnesty and pardon law
Justice Minister Florin Iordache says he will have a talk with Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu on the amnesty and pardon law, according to Agerpres. 2017-01-17 12:03:57
"We must make a decision in the Government. Upon leaving from the CSM [Superior Council of Magistrates] I will meet the Prime Minister and, depending on the decision we shall make in the Government, I shall inform you," said Florin Iordache. "I shall discuss [with Sorin Grindeanu], I find it a very important topic, and the decision (...) must belong to the Government. I have the technical arguments and I am saying what it is going on."
He recalled that he had discussions with representatives of penitentiaries and professional associations, pointing out that "humane conditions" are attempted to be created in penitentiaries.
"We had discussions with penitentiary representatives and with professional associations," the Justice Minister explained. "We mustn't deny that now the occupancy level in penitentiaries is very high, around 150 percent. These people, if they have done something wrong, should serve their sentence, but we are trying to create some humane conditions. At the same time, we must say a very clear thing, that we have international conventions, we have the sanction of paying several million euro because of the conditions existing in penitentiaries."
In his opinion, by 2021 the occupancy level could not be diminished in the context in which if the construction of a 500-600 place penitentiary began now, the minimum execution time accounts for five years. Florin Iordache added that, in his opinion, amnesty shouldn't be considered, and pardon should be done by eliminating the corruption offenses.
