Summary/Abstract: This second part of the article documents the involvment of some social actors, primarly the Association Solidarity for Freedom of Conscience, in the implementation the Constitutional Court (CCR) Decision 669 regarding enrollment into Religion class. The analysis covers the period between March 2015 – March 2017. The article also investigates the agreement between the Romanian Orthodox Church and the Association Parents in support of Religion Classes, on one side, and officials from relevant institutions, on the other, to hinder the implementation of the dispositions in the CCR decision.The developments described highlight the great vulnerability of the Romanian state. The analysis shows private alliances have the capacity to block constitutional and legislative decisions and hence proves there is no real „rule of law” in Romania.
