Romania’s Senate adopted revised integrity legislation by 106 votes to 19, with no abstentions, after a Constitutional Court review. The law replaces traditional public asset and interest declarations with public financial-interest sheets and retains a provision ending elected officials’ mandates after final conflict-of-interest or incompatibility findings. If President Nicușor Dan promulgates it unchanged, the measure could remove Timișoara Mayor and USR leader Dominic Fritz following a final High Court ruling concerning him in June. The legislation is an August 31 recovery-plan milestone tied to €770 million in European Union funding.
