Petrișor Peiu criticizes Bolojan's and the CCR chief's reaction after meeting: The Constitutional Court proves to be nothing more than a mere political instrument

The meeting between Ilie Bolojan and Simina Tănăsescu remains the main subject of debate in Romanian politics. The Prime Minister and the head of the Constitutional Court are at the forefront of discussions, and Petrișor Peiu has also provided a reaction.

The leader of the AUR senators wrote on social media his opinion regarding the meeting between the two.

Peiu remarks on the explanations provided

On his personal Facebook account, Petrișor Peiu criticizes the reaction of Ilie Bolojan and Simina Tănăsescu after the meeting. In his opinion, "The Constitutional Court proves to be nothing more than a mere political instrument" used by the actors of the moment at their whim.

"The ambiguous manner in which Simina Tănăsescu and Ilie Bolojan refer to their discussion only serves to justify the lack of trust in the main institutions of the state. The Constitutional Court proves to be nothing more than a mere political instrument, at the disposal of the party that appointed the judges. A state in which such anti-democratic monstrosities occur is a failed state," Peiu wrote.

The Tănăsescu-Bolojan scandal reaches the Senate

The Permanent Bureau of the Senate will meet on Monday, August 17, to "clarify the situation" regarding the meeting between the President of the Constitutional Court, Simina Tănăsescu, and the dismissed Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, according to an announcement sent to senators on Sunday.

The announcement comes shortly after Senator Ninel Peia (PACE) requested the emergency convening of the United Permanent Bureaus of Parliament, following information regarding the unofficial meeting between Bolojan and the President of the CCR. The parliamentarian claims that such a dialogue, hidden from public view, raises serious questions about the independence of institutions in a state governed by the rule of law.

The request was submitted on Sunday, August 16, to the Permanent Bureau of the Romanian Senate. The move, supported by more than a third of the Senate members, aims to clarify the circumstances under which the discussion took place on August 14, 2026, between the dismissed Prime Minister and the President of the CCR, as well as to evaluate potential institutional consequences.

Simina Tănăsescu's explanations

Meanwhile, the CCR has provided explanations regarding the meeting between her and the dismissed Prime Minister. In a press release, it is stated that ethical and professional standards, along with the conduct of the head of the Constitutional Court, should exclude the possibility that the head of the CCR exceeded her functional duties.

"The President of the Constitutional Court firmly and categorically reaffirms that no case on the Court's docket is or can be the subject of discussions outside the procedural and legal framework in which it is to be resolved. At the same time, the constant and public conduct, as well as the ethical and professional standards of the President of the Constitutional Court, constitute sufficient benchmarks to exclude any contrary interpretation regarding the nature and object of the administrative actions carried out in the exercise of functional duties," the CCR communiqué concludes.
