The signatory organizations ask for Article II of the Legislative proposal to modify Government Ordinance no. 26/2000 on associations and foundations to be eliminated from the document, as voted by the Senate on February 12, 2013. Maintaining Article II is in violation of the general principle of irretroactivity of the law (provided by Article 15, paragraph 2 of the Constitution), the principle of separation of powers (Article 1, paragraph 4 of the Constitution) and of the authority of res judicata of final and irrevocable court decisions , as well as of the right to freedom of association (guaranteed by Article 40, paragraph 1 of the Constitution).

Letter to Sorin Oprescu, General Mayor of Bucharest Municipality
During the first meeting of the General Council of Bucharest in the 2012-2016 incumbency, we noted that these meetings were no longer open to the public. The signatories of the present letter consider that preparing a special room destined to watching Council meetings is not in the spirit of the law and principles of participative democracy, quite the contrary. Moreover, separating citizens from local elected representatives will have a major impact on direct communication between the two categories, the council meeting being one of the main occasions when citizens are able to take part in decision making regarding the city management.
Protest
The signatories of this protest – private persons and civil society organizations – took note with utter consternation that PSD senator Dan Şova was appointed as a delegate minister in charge of the relation with the Parliament.
Organizations of the civil society ask the Romanian Government to create a committee to monitor the election list updating process
We wish to reiterate here our opinion that a revision of the election lists, by any procedure, may only be done for the future, and cannot be taken into consideration for the recent July 29 referendum, which must be validated or invalidated according to rules in place at the time of the ballot, as underlined by the decision of the Constitutional Court.
