Markus Ferber: Romania's Parliament needs to prove that democracy is a chance not a burden
Ferber declared that Romania should learn some lessons from the European Parliament procedures where these are actually enforced. He added that within the EP, all Parliamentarians do their job and actively participate in debates. What's more, there are strict regulations enforced with serious consequences if they are not respected. He gives an example of a fellow MEP who was suspended for four weeks because he cast a vote in the name of another MEP.
Ferber underlines that all politicians should prove their innocence if they are part of a political scandal, and obide the law. He added that the Parliament is the guardian of the fight against corruption and for setting a democratic example for the whole country.
