RE: DEMOCRACY, EUROPE, GOVERNANCE, POLITICS

The Parliament of Romania is the national lawmaking body that helps run the country by creating, debating, and passing laws. It has two chambers: the Chamber of Deputies (lower house) and the Senate (upper house). Members are elected by the public through national elections, meaning people have a direct say in who represents them.

Parliament makes decisions in open sessions that are often broadcast to the public. Laws are discussed and reviewed in committees, where different parties and experts examine them closely. Once a proposal is ready, it goes through several rounds of debate and voting in both chambers before becoming law. This process is designed to be transparent, balanced, and accountable.

The Parliament also checks the work of the Prime Minister and government ministers, helping prevent the misuse of power. It plays a key role in protecting democracy, promoting public debate, and making sure that different voices are heard in national decision-making.
