The European Commission is reviewing a new integrity law in Romania, specifically focusing on an amendment—dubbed the “Fritz amendment”—that threatens the mayorship of Timișoara’s Dominic Fritz. This review aims to determine if the law aligns with European Union legal standards. The amendment in question could lead to Fritz’s removal from office. The Commission responded to inquiries from HotNews regarding a letter sent to Romanian authorities about the matter. At stake are approximately 770 million euros, suggesting potential EU funding implications tied to the law's validity. The Commission’s assessment will determine whether Romania’s legislation infringes upon EU rights and regulations, potentially impacting financial support. This development marks a significant moment in a growing political dispute surrounding the law and its impact on local governance.
