The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) intended to buy medicines for current and former judges using money allocated to the institution through the state budget adopted by the Government, accuses USR deputy Claudiu Năsui. Following an amendment submitted, parliamentarians from the Budget Committee decided to eliminate the said amount from the budget for 2025, according to Năsui.

“I asked the Constitutional Court a simple question: what kind of social assistance expenses do they have of almost 1 million lei? The answer came clear, that they want to buy medicines for current and former CCR judges and CCR employees. Not for nothing, but the prices of medicines have kept rising. That’s exactly what they told us,” Claudiu Năsui wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

He says that prices have increased for all Romanians and, therefore, “we need solutions for all Romanians, not just for politically connected specialists.”
“As a result of my questions, the other committee colleagues were also convinced that what the CCR is doing is a piece of shit. And they agreed to eliminate that amount from the budget. Given how the CCR works, it should disappear, not receive money for medicines,” said Claudiu Năsui.
He asked the CCR representative present in the budget committees in Parliament what the 700,000 lei would be used for, specifying that last year there was no such funding line.
The CCR representative responded by saying that the money would be used for medicines for employees and former CCR judges, motivating the move by increasing prices. Năsui’s reply was short: “Wow!”.

The Constitutional Court is composed of 9 judges. Of these, four were proposed by the PSD, three were proposed by Klaus Iohannis through the Presidential Administration, one by the PNL and one by the UDMR.
MPs adopted an amendment in committees rejecting the allocation of 700,000 lei for medicines.
