Is Romania destroying its EU-compatible justice system?

The new minister of justice, Tudor Chiuariu, wants to fire public prosecutor Doru Tulus, who is responsible for cases of corruption. Chiuariu has accused him of being inefficient. But critics of the decision say Chiuariu is trying to get rid of a judicious official. "When Minister of Justice Monica Macovei lost her position, she warned that the next to go would probably be the attorneys general. An even more dire warning came from EU Commissioner of Justice Franco Frattini in Brussels: If the attorneys general are in the line of fire, Romania should expect sanctions. The success of Macovei is that her successor, Tudor Chiuariu, understood her message and did not completely fail. He simply went to a lower level: to public prosecutor Doru Tulus. Tulus' great failing is that he does his job. And this has been confirmed by his boss, the attorney general and his colleagues ... In our delicate democracy, the vengeful grimace of persecuted justice is showing itself."
