RADIO ROMANIA NEWS - Today, the Chamber of Deputies voted several amendments to its Rules of Procedure, which will apply from the next parliamentary term. Thus, until the new Parliament, formed after this year's elections, the work of the plenary will be led by the MP with the highest number of mandates held and not by the oldest member, as before. The proposal was initiated by Ovidiu Gant from the national minorities group.

Ovidiu Gant: "Based on previous experience and the practice of parliaments in countries with older democracies than ours, we have proposed a new criterion for the election of the president who presides over the constituent sitting at the beginning of the legislature, namely we have replaced physical age with parliamentary experience."

AUR did not support a change to the rules.

MEP Ciprian-Titi Stoica: "By this provision to have as president of the sitting, before the constitution of the new legislature, a parliamentarian who has more mandates and not the oldest member, as it was until now, is just a way to limit access to this honorary position to elected members from new, opposition or threshold parties."
