După Legea Florian, Legea Oprea
After the Florian Law, the Oprea Law

Summary/Abstract: Even though 2016 marks ten years since communism was declared as an illegitimate and criminal regime, no notable things happened for real condemnation of the atrocities committed by this regime. For a long time, the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of Romanian Exile was amputated by government decision on its ability to literally investigate crimes and abuses committed during the communist regime. Recently, this ability was given back. Unfortunately, we still cannot speak of the condemnation of communism, but only about one conviction of a single torturer. Otherwise, justice remains blind in terms of both perpetrators and victims of the communist regime and yet Parliament remains mute. For this reason, I thought of drafting a law that could not be counted nor unconstitutional by restricting the rights of certain categories of people, but nor „dedicated” to one man. It is a similar law to the Law no. 217/2015, which will regard the prohibition of organizations and symbols of communism and also the prohibition on the promotion of the cult of persons guilty of the establishment and functioning of the communist regime and its repressive apparatus in Romania, and the adoption of stipulations leading to restriction of their rights, and also some measures of accountability in relation to their own repressive activities of the past and the victims.
