Representatives of Prime Minister-designate Adrian Vestea's team say they will ask the competent judicial bodies to review the legality of PNL's conduct after Sunday's Extraordinary Congress decisions to exclude several members, political sources said.
The sources argue that 'today's announced exclusions can produce no legal effect', given that PNL's National Political Bureau Decisions 22 and 25 of June 15 were already suspended by an immediately enforceable court ruling: acting on suspended decisions, they say, 'means defying a judicial order'. They also contend that the mechanism used has no basis in the party Statute, since no body can mandate another to order exclusions and sanctions must follow gradual, individual procedures with defence rights and avenues of appeal.
They add that 'a collective ultimatum of a few hours is not a statutory procedure'.
According to the same sources, the new Statute does not correct the said illegality: it entered into force only today, upon ratification by the Congress, and cannot apply retroactively. They argue that the PNL Extraordinary Congress was conducted as if the new Statute were already in force, a flaw that could render the entire procedure - including the Congress itself - open to annulment in court. 'We will now seize the competent judicial bodies to verify the legality of the party's conduct,' the sources said.
One of the resolutions adopted on Sunday calls for the resignation from PNL of Adrian Vestea, Lucian Bode, Rares Bogdan, Hubert Thuma and Alina Gorghiu. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Georgiana Tanasescu; EN - writing by: Simona Klodnischi)
Vestea camp: PNL Congress exclusions have no legal effect; competent judicial bodies to be notified
