Intelligence Service head Hellvig: Any attempt to return to communist-style regulations must be rejected from start

 

In his remarks, Hellvig referred to the package of laws on national security.

 

"Updating these laws is not a recent goal, but one that has been missed in the last 30 years. The only existing laws are those adopted in the early 1990s, and their form constantly allows for vague interpretations. SRI has constantly called for legal instruments to allow us to be more efficient in combating the threats facing Romania. At the same time, the adjustment of the legislation must take into account the landmarks of today's Romania.We are a democratic society, part of the Western family, member of the European Union and NATO and the democratic principles must always prevail. We have Western models that can inspire us, and I believe that any attempt to return to communist-style regulations must be rejected from the very start," Eduard Helvig said in a statement online.
