Radu Miruţă responds to the attacks that came after the criticism of the CCR and defends his father, a former magistrate. “My father retired at 58, not 48, after 32 years as a judge, including 22 years, 6 months and 15 days as a judge.”
The Minister of Defense, Radu Miruţă, reacts harshly after his criticism of the judges of the Constitutional Court generated attacks on himself and his family. The official explains that his father, a former magistrate, retired at 58, not 48, after 32 years in the judiciary, of which 22 years, 6 months and 15 days as a judge.
“You have attacked, one by one, my children – 4 and 9 years old -, my wife, and now my parents. With lies, with sentences twisted into untruths, with paragraphs to which you have constructed an artificial logic to seem credible, although they are parallel to reality. If this is the price that a man of good faith must pay to correct a few injustices in this country, then you know that I have no problem to pay it”, the minister wrote on Tuesday, December 30, on his Facebook page.
“A wave of lies cannot cover the truth. Not even when some people are upset that I am talking about principles, about how some people’s privileges are threatened and they are giving way to the disinformation machine. The trials tried and the proportion of solutions that were upheld by the higher courts speak about the professional performance of a magistrate, like my father. Here things are clear and measurable in my father’s right.
Because I was blunt with the four judges of the CCR and because they have no counterarguments, I choose to invoke my father. But I’m getting off topic. Professional data contradicts them, and in front of the lie propagated by some lies the truth supported by official data.
My father retired at 58, not 48, after 32 years as a judge, including 22 years, 6 months and 15 days as a judge. Not 14 years, not other inventions propagated in bad faith. All these details are public and appear in Decision no. 699/2010 of the CSM”he wanted to clarify the situation.
“A child from the country, he learned by candlelight and stepped into Bucharest for the first time when he was admitted to the Faculty of Law of the University of Bucharest, at a time when admission was made through a difficult and serious exam.
He was, in turns, judge, president of the court, chief judge of the court section, president of the court and judge with the rank of the court of appeal. Through work and results. At the time, each judge’s performance was rigorously measured, including by the percentage of decisions upheld by higher courts. In his case, this score was a very good one: the solutions given consistently remained steadfast.
Yes, I often give him an example in my public statements, because for me he is a benchmark of integrity, professionalism and wisdom. A human compass, as I would like it to be for my children,” the Minister of Defense told about his father.
At the end of his post, Radu Miruţă emphasized the importance of fairness in the military and judicial system.
“Romania must move forward. But not the way it has gone so far: with formal politicians, stifled by old structures, who bring forward “fresh” figures, but lacking strength, easily manipulated by the same puppeteers of the past”he concluded his message.
