Romania’s Constitutional Court (CCR) has ruled that a law permitting the culling of over 900 bears is constitutional. The decision rejects a challenge filed by Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan, who raised concerns about the law’s legality. The court found no violation of the principle of legality, the right to a healthy environment, or state obligations regarding environmental protection and ecological balance. The ruling affirms the government’s authority to manage the bear population through culling measures. The law aims to address concerns about increasing bear-human conflicts and potential threats to public safety. This decision effectively allows the implementation of the controversial bear culling quota. The court’s decision was made with a majority vote.
