Romania's Constitutional Court Upholds Secrecy of Dignitary Assets; Mayor Boc Calls for Change Cluj-Napoca, Romania – The Romanian Constitutional Court recently voted 5-4 to maintain the secrecy surrounding the assets of high-ranking officials. This decision has sparked considerable debate, with critics arguing it undermines transparency and accountability. Emil Boc, mayor of Cluj-Napoca, weighed in on the matter, suggesting a straightforward solution: changing the court's majority. "The solution is simple," stated Boc in a short video message. "Change the majority at the Constitutional Court." He further explained that the current decision mirrors a similar ruling from 2014, suggesting the issue lies in the court's composition rather than the legality of the secrecy itself. Boc's call for change highlights the ongoing tension between transparency and the protection of sensitive information for public officials. The upcoming appointments to the Constitutional Court in June could significantly impact this ongoing debate. The debate over transparency in public office continues to be a focal point in Romanian politics, and this decision is likely to fuel further discussions about the balance between public accountability and the privacy rights of officials.
