The Romanian government has disputed the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECHR) historic judgement from May, which requires the Romanian state to pass legislation recognising same-sex couples.
The Accept Association condemns the «shameful gesture of the Government» to contest the ECHR judgement on legal recognition of LGBTQ families in Romania.
In response to Gândul’s request, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday that the Romanian state had appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling of May 23, which requires Romania to recognise and respect the rights of same-sex couples who seek to become legally married. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the institution that exercises the prerogatives of a government agent before the ECHR on behalf of the government, romaniajournal.ro reports.
