“I do not take into account the RCC errata”

The delegate Minister to the Management Board, Radu Stroe, said on Friday that, according to Mediafax, the Constitutional Court errata, sent to the Government in August 6th, is a fake, saying that, through this, “the citizen Traian Băsescu” succeeded in throwing in derisory of CC.

“At least the last adventure, I personally put it to the citizen Traian Băsescu, has succeeded in throwing in the derisory of the Constitutional Court through the second document, that errata that is a fake in the establishment of the Constitutional Court”, Radu Stroe said, referring to the address sent to Government by the Constitutional Court on August 6th.

Radu Stroe said that MAI will not take into account this second document of the Constitutional Court because it does not consider a decision of the plenum of the CC, but "a phrase, an addition, an errata".

The delegate Minister to the Management Board, Radu Stroe, pointed out that the permanent electoral lists are checked, as the Constitutional Court instructed, and the authorities are obliged to give accurate data as possible and to assist the Court to decide.
