Diana Buzoianu reacted ironically after the Bucharest Court of Appeal decided to re-judge the trial in which she had obtained, in the first instance, the obligation of RA-APPS to publish the list of protocol buildings and rental contracts.
The Bucharest Court of Appeal decided that the trial between Diana Buzoianu and RA-APPS should be tried again, although the interim Minister of the Environment had won the case in the first instance at the Bucharest Court. By that decision, the Autonomous Directorate “State Protocol Heritage Administration” (RA-APPS) had been obliged to publish the list of protocol buildings and rental contracts.
The information was confirmed even by the interim Minister of the Environment, Diana Buzoianu, who says that sending the file for retrial means, in fact, that the publication of this information will be postponed for another period and states that she does not understand what is the legal basis of the decision.
In a message published on Monday, July 6, on Facebook, Diana Buzoianu commented ironically on the decision, again alluding to the way the Romanian legal system works.
“Today, exactly a few minutes ago, I received the decision from the Bucharest Court of Appeal in my case against RAAPPS. You know, the case that I won in the first instance some time ago, RAAPPS being obliged to publish the lists of protocol buildings and rental contracts.
After much consideration…. The Bucharest Court of Appeal decided that the trial in which we had won, on the merits, at the Bucharest Court must be tried once more. That means RAAPPS easily won another 2 years of not publishing any real estate listings.
I can’t wait to see, in a good few months, of course, the motivation of the judges.
Of course, the referral to retrial can be made, according to the law in force:
a) in the event that the court whose decision is being appealed resolved the case without entering into the judgment of the merits – this was not the case, the Bucharest Court analyzing and ruling on the merits or
b) the judgment was made in the absence of the party who was illegally subpoenaed, both during the administration of the evidence and during the debate on the merits – this was not the case in this trial
Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is: it is not normal to criticize the justice system. It is perfectly normal for some years to pass before it is decided whether or not lists of properties bought with public money should be published. Who knows what rights RAAPPS has to keep everything secret, that they only bought those buildings with money from mom and dad, not with public money“, Diana Buzoianu wrote on Facebook.
