We are on the side of the citizen. Submit your issue to FACIAS!
The Foundation For The Defense Of Citizens Against State Abuses (FACIAS) is carrying out an important information and awareness campaign on the rights of Romanian citizens.
Intitulată „E dreptul meu! (de partea cetățeanului)”, campania FACIAS își dorește să devină un instrument util pentru orice român care constată că îi sunt încălcate drepturile fundamentale. Iată cum procedăm:
Step 1: Identifying the Problem
Let's imagine that Stefan has a problem with a public authority that he cannot solve alone. His problem is one of the following: he is waiting for a response from a public authority that has long since exceeded the legal deadline, he is deprived of a right by a public authority due to negligence, incompetence or ill will of state employees, the rights of a socio-professional category of which Stefan is a member are being violated, he has found that the public authority is not doing the job it is paid to do, or he is outraged by general issues affecting the whole community such as special pensions.
Step 2: Gathering data, formulating the problem
Să ne imaginăm că Ștefan are una dintre problemele enumerate, sau alta similară. El se gândește acum să acționeze pentru a determina autoritatea să facă ceea ce este normal, dar se lovește de un sistem birocratic opac și, în consecință, se simte singur și descurajat. Dar Ștefan este un cetățean informat, a auzit de campania FACIAS „E dreptul meu! (de partea cetățeanului)” și simte că nu este totul pierdut. Așa că formulează problema sa cu toate detaliile și o trimite pe emailul [email protected].
Step 3: Problem analysis and battle strategy
Să ne imaginăm că Ștefan a trimis deja detalii despre problema sa cu autoritățile publice pe emailul campaniei FACIAS „E dreptul meu! (de partea cetățeanului)” – [email protected]. Once at FACIAS, Stefan's problem is taken up by a FACIAS specialist who analyses it from a civic perspective, i.e. he finds out whether Stefan's problem fits into the campaign's objectives and is not strictly personal. The FACIAS specialist refers the matter to the legal department for information on the most effective way to resolve the problem.
Step 4: The fight
Let's imagine that Stefan's problem was analysed and it was determined that civic and legal action should be taken. So FACIAS takes up Stefan's problem, popularises it, brings it to the attention of the public authority that has to solve it or addresses it to a higher forum. If that authority is not responsive within the legal deadline to this first FACIAS approach, the problem becomes the subject of a petition to the courts, in which FACIAS will try to obtain justice for Stefan.
Step 5: Resolution
Let's imagine that Stefan's problem generated a civil lawsuit that was won by FACIAS, or FACIAS's prior complaint to the authorities prompted state employees to do their job. In this scenario Stefan's problem is solved and we could draw two conclusions: Stefan has shown civic involvement and acted intelligently, taking one of the most powerful civic organizations in Romania on his side and FACIAS has once again made a point in the sense of its mission to be on the side of the citizen.
