The agreement, signed by the president of the Buzău County Branch of the Romani Party, Iosif Călin, and the president of the Buzău County Organization of PSD, Lucian Romaşcanu, aims to support PSD candidates in the upcoming elections.

The collaboration is intended to address issues faced by Roma communities in the county by leveraging the involvement of local and county authorities led by PSD. In areas without local branches of the Romani Party, support groups will be formed in collaboration with PSD candidates for mayoral positions to include citizens of Roma ethnicity.

Government Spokesman Addresses Judicial Decisions and Legal Framework Concerns: Pavlos Marinakis, government spokesman, has commented on the recent decision of the primary court regarding a case from July 23, 2018. Marinakis emphasized the importance of respecting the separation of powers in the country and the role of the judiciary in issuing decisions and imposing penalties.

He pointed out that the judiciary must apply the most lenient law in cases, which may present challenges in some situations, such as the one from 2018. Marinakis also highlighted the importance of providing the judiciary with legal tools and provisions to enable fair decisions.

The government spokesman reiterated the need for the executive and legislative branches to avoid interfering with or commenting on judicial decisions, and to respect the legal framework under which these decisions are issued.
