Minister Delegate for Administration, Radu Stroe, said today that there will be major changes in the electoral lists, but did not advance any figure, informs the RRA editor, Gabriel Klimowicz.

In his opinion, this will change "the situation from the Constitutional Court".

"We will analyze this situation. I do not want to go into details, because I have not all the details, but it is an important category of people whose IDs are expired, not for a month or two, but for years .

"And the situation of those dead is clearer, because you can check, and confrontation and Pension Fund and Insurance. And there are those from abroad," said Radu Stroe.

Radu Stroe’s statements come while the Interior Ministry continues to arrive from local government on data update lists.

According to Mediafax, Minister of Interior, Mircea Duşa said Sunday, standing on updating the electoral lists, that the data are being centralized and can not afford to make assessments of the decision which would take the Constitutional Court on referendum.

On the referendum electoral lists from 29th of July were recorded over 18 million people, which turned out to vote but with 4 percent fewer people than would be necessary for validation.

In fact, before taking a decision on validating or invalidating the referendum, the Constitutional Court has asked the government lists on which to vote, the deadline being Tuesday, August 21.

PDL accuses the Interior Ministry that he would prepare a "big fraud"

PDL argues that the current leadership of the Ministry of Interior would prepare, together with the USL structures from the territory, a much fraud, respectively the removal of the permanent electoral lists of more than two and a half million Romanian voting, notifies the editor of RRA, Roman Muşat .

PDL deputy Cristian Boureanu listed some of the methods that are used, in his view, in this purpose and that the democrat-liberals that they consider abuses and false documents.

"It radiates from electoral lists persons declared dead by relatives or neighbors, but without providing an official document certifying the death. Persons are excluded from the electoral lists of relatives or neighbors that say they do not live at home, without the occurrence of an official document certifying change of address or residence.

"Are radiated from lists people who have expired identity documents. Neither this operation has any legal basis," said Boureanu.
