lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we, Romanians, joined the European Union with the aim of abiding by the rules, consolidating our democracy, being free and in charge of our lives, and having a fair, independent and impartial judicial system, investigating anyone, including members of the government and politicians, which has not happened before. We have achieved this now. We thank the Commission and the European Parliament for their support during the pre-accession period and afterwards. The prosecutors and judges who are handling cases against politicians are the ones being praised today; they are the ones who have been acknowledged in each report of the European Commission regarding the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism. They are not handling political cases; on the contrary, they are investigating any member of the government. I wish to emphasise this because, in reality, what has happened in Romania was aimed at stopping these investigations and holding justice captive in the back garden of certain political parties. Therefore, it is extremely important to return to this state of normality. At present, prosecutors and judges are investigating referendum frauds, following certain claims. There are over 500 cases. Let me give you just a few figures: one of the cases involves allegations regarding 1.5 million votes stolen during the referendum and, several days ago, the Chief-Prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate stated that leads and evidence of fraud amounting to 5-10-15% have been found in the investigated polling stations. These files must, therefore, be finalised, these prosecutors must continue to hold office, in spite of the efforts being made to dismiss them, and we must see the result of these investigations. Voting fraud is the vilest form of corruption because it is directed against the people."@en1
