"Democracy is being violated in Romania, a European Union Member State, by the actual party in government, without any fear of repercussions. The president of the Chamber of Deputies, one of the Romanian parliament’s two chambers, counted the 80 MPs who were in the chamber and announced that the result of the count was 170. At that moment, a law which is vital to a large number of Romanian citizens was put to the vote. This was the draft of the new pensions law, which envisaged increasing the retirement age excessively, setting the same retirement age for women and men, and performing a recalculation, amounting to a reduction in real terms of the pension amount for a large number of pensioners. Although the opposition was strongly against these amendments and was not present in the chamber at the time of the vote, the cameras were able to expose the fraud taking place. However, if the opposition and press had not protested against this action every day since then, the law would have been officially announced today by the Romanian president."@en1
