According to the e-voting of the Chamber of Deputies, we are talking about Ben Oni Ardelean, Robert Sigiarteu and Mircea Roska.

“The project of the Law on the organization of activities to prevent child separation from the family (PL-x No. 145/2023) must be stopped! The Barnevernet clone in Romania has nothing to do with it!” Ardelyan wrote on Facebook.

He claims that he worked with lawyers on the amendments, but later learned that the commission was convened “in an extremely unknown way, and that the project was adopted in its original form, without taking into account any proposed amendments, dozens of hours were spent on its modification, and the efforts of these people, who worked voluntarily, with one thought: to correct and avoid abuses, interpretations of the law and threats to the highest good of the child.”

“It is unbelievable and unacceptable what is happening!” – he finished his post.

Robert Sigarteu also announced his intention to vote against the law, calling what happened in the parliament an abuse.

“It is scandalous what is happening with the draft law on preventing the separation of children from their families (PL-x No. 145/2023). The Labor Committee acted like a thief in the night and approved the bill with minor changes, ignoring our amendments and efforts to improve the law. I will categorically vote against him! I will keep you updated on developments and will do everything possible to protect our families and children from such legislative abuses!” Sigiarteu wrote on Facebook.

The Chamber of Deputies adopted the draft law on the organization of activities to prevent child separation from the family by 222 votes “for”, 48 “against” and 2 abstentions. The bill prompted AUR to protest on Wednesday both in front of the Palace of Parliament, where George Simion climbed a fence and two MPs were attacked. This, although the regulation was approved by one of the deputies of the AUR, Dan Tenase, as the president of the Equal Opportunities Commission.
