I wonder what our role is in this game, which is exclusively political and for political capitalization. When you remove responsibility from a person\u2019s conduct and make them anonymous, regardless of their education or professional status, all you will achieve is something that cannot be used to examine a system. And so, in this context, I don\u2019t know what purpose it serves or who it serves, which is why it is very important for us, every judge, to think about what we are looking for in this game. And if it is our role, if it is our place in this game, if we are judges and our only reference point is the law, what is the purpose of this initiative? What is the rationale?\u201d says Arsenie.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-3\">The head of the CAB believes that \u201eout of respect for the presidential office,\u201d some judges \u201emay comply\u201d with the referendum.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-4\">\u201eBut by virtue of our obligation and status as a power in the state, which ensures compliance with the law, I don\u2019t know how we could comply,\u201d says Liana Arsenie.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-5\">Asked what the purpose of such an undertaking would be, Liana Arsenie said it was \u201ea political game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"p-6\">\u201eI don\u2019t know what the calculations are. I am not an expert in this area of political games. I only know that I don\u2019t think we have any business getting involved in these political games, and politicians should understand that a democratic state cannot function in this way,\u201d added the head of the Bucharest Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The president of the Bucharest Court of Appeal, Liana Arsenie, says she does not know whether magistrates will participate in a possible referendum on justice, proposed by President Nicu\u0219or Dan, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/?p=676632\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":676633,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676632"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=676632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/676633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=676632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=676632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microscopemedia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=676632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
