Nicușor Dan surprinde cu o lege care scapă aleșii locali de incompatibilitate New

Nicușor Dan surprinde cu o lege care scapă aleșii locali de incompatibilitate

Președintele Nicușor Dan a promulgat, miercuri, legea prin care sunt abrogate prevederile din Codul administrativ care puteau duce la incompatibilitatea consilierilor locali și județeni care ocupă și anumite funcții în administrația publică. Modificarea vine după ce Parlamentul a intervenit rapid asupra legislației, înainte ca noile prevederi să producă efecte asupra unui număr mare de aleși locali.Pe 26 august a.c., propunerea legislativă inițiată de PSD a fost adoptată de Camera Deputaților, în calitate de prim for sesizat și adoptată decizional de Senat a fost adoptată decizional de Senat în aceeși zi. Modificările au fost promovate după intrarea în vigoare, la 9 august, a Legii nr. 165/2026, care stabilea că angajații unor instituții și autorități publice nu pot cumula funcția cu mandatul de consilier local sau județean.Potrivit raportului aprobat în comisia de specialitate a Senatului, proiectul de lege abrogă alineatele (2)-(6) ale articolului 550 din OUG nr. 57/2019 privind Codul administrativ.Aceste prevederi stabileau situațiile în care personalul contractual se putea afla în conflict de interese sau incompatibilitate, precum și modalitatea de soluționare și sancționare a acestora ca abateri disciplinare.Raportul precizează că respectivele dispoziții „aveau în vedere, în esență, asimilarea cu funcționarii publici cu privire la interdicțiile respective, reglementate ca și situații de conflict de interese, respectiv de incompatibilitate”.Abrogarea prevederilor a fost justificată prin necesitatea asigurării predictibilității cadrului legislativ și a prevenirii unor probleme în funcționarea instituțiilor și autorităților publice.„Abrogarea alineatelor (2) - (6) ale articolului 550 din Codul administrativ a fost motivată la Camera Deputaților, prin amendamentele admise, ca fiind necesară pentru asigurarea predictibilității cadrului legislativ și pentru prevenirea unor disfuncționalități în activitatea instituțiilor și autorităților publice”, spune raportul Senatului.Citește și: Opt consilieri din Arad au demisionat din cauza riscului de incompatibilitate. „Nu putem schimba regulile în timpul mandatului”Ce schimbări aduce noua legeParlamentarii au introdus și o prevedere referitoare la situațiile apărute între momentul intrării în vigoare a Legii nr. 165/2026 și intrarea în vigoare a noii legi.Astfel, amendamentul adoptat de Camera Deputaților stabilește că „situațiile intervenite în perioada cuprinsă între data intrării în vigoare a Legii nr. 165/2026 și data intrării în vigoare a prezentei legi, care, potrivit articolului 550 din OUG nr. 57/2019 (Codul administrativ), astfel cum a fost modificat prin Legea nr. 165/2026, ar fi fost de natură să genereze o stare de incompatibilitate sau un conflict de interese, după caz, nu constituie incompatibilități sau conflict de interese, după caz, și nu atrag răspunderea juridică aferentă acestora”.Potrivit raportului, prevederea a fost justificată prin faptul că aplicarea noilor reguli fără o perioadă de tranziție ar fi putut avea consecințe asupra administrației publice.„Motivarea acestui text a fost în sensul că aplicarea fără o perioadă de tranziție poate genera pierderi de personal, dificultăți și blocaje în desfășurarea unor activități administrative esențiale”, mai arată documentul.UDMR a susținut modificările deși ministrul interimar al Dezvoltării Cseke Attila a declarat la Digi24 că informația potrivit căreia aleșii locali care lucrează la stat ar trebui să își suspende contractele de muncă a fost eronată și s-a propagat în administrația publică fără un document oficial al autorităților. Și unii liberali, printre care Ionuț Stroe și Nicoleta Pauliuc, au semnat amendamentul care salvează mandatele consilierilor locali și județeni.Modificarea, adoptată pe repede înainteParlamentarii au intervenit asupra legislației după ce consilierii locali și județeni au reclamat riscul de a-și pierde mandatele dacă nu renunță la funcțiile deținute în administrația publică.Pe 26 august, după adoptarea pe rând de către cele două Camere ale Legislativului, USR a anunțat că strânge semnături pentru a sesiza Curtea Constituțională cu privire la lege și partidul a susținut că Parlamentul a eliminat efectele unor incompatibilități deja produse.Prin promulgarea de către Nicușor Dan, modificările intră în circuitul de aplicare prevăzut de lege.

Busy Philipps Shares MRI Results: What Was Discovered After Brain Surgery? New

Busy Philipps Shares MRI Results: What Was Discovered After Brain Surgery?

Busy Philipps revealed the results of an MRI scan six months after she underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. “I got my six-month scan MRI and … no sign of tumor,” Philipps, 47, told fans in a Tuesday, September 8, Instagram video before sharing that the procedure, which stands for magnetic resonance imaging and captures clear internal structure photos, did find something else. “However, I do have a sinus infection … which also makes sense because my eye’s been red. My left eye, for the past week — and if you are somebody who’s followed me for a really long time, you know those sinuses, honey. They have been out to get me since day one,” she said. “I’m going to the sinus doctor tomorrow morning. See what we’ve got to do.” The actress’ health update comes after she recently publicly marked six months since undergoing her successful brain surgery. “YESTERDAY WAS 6 MONTHS SINCE MY BRAIN SURGERY REMOVED THAT TUMOR FROM MY BRAIN!” Philipps captioned a Thursday, September 3, Instagram carousel that included a mirror selfie of her in a hospital gown, seemingly snapped during a mammogram. “Well guess what? My mammogram was all clear too! Woo!” Philipps revealed in August that she had been diagnosed with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare slow-growing tumor. During an interview with People, the Dawson’s Creek alum shared that she was recovering at the time. “I’m grateful that I’m alive,” she told the magazine, which reported that she showed no obvious symptoms ahead of her diagnosis. It was only during a Prenuvo full-body scan in February that she made the discovery, which left her “hyperventilating” while “trying to breathe.” The scan was conducted one day after her former costar James Van Der Beek died, with Philipps telling the outlet that she had asked her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, at the time whether she should cancel the scan after learning of the devastating news. She ultimately went ahead with it in Van Der Beek's honor. (The actor died from complications of stage III colorectal cancer. He was 48.) James' widow, Kimberly Van Der Beek, shared a message of support for Philipps after she went public with her brain tumor diagnosis. “We love you @busyphilipps and you got angels in heaven,” Kimberly, 44, wrote via Instagram in response to Philipps’ interview. Although Philipps will need to kick her sinus infection, she told fans that she’s grateful for her successful recovery. “I’ll take a sinus infection over a brain tumor any day,” she said with a laugh in Tuesday’s clip.

Juror's Shocking Defense of Holdout in Lindsay Clancy Trial Revealed New

Juror's Shocking Defense of Holdout in Lindsay Clancy Trial Revealed

A female juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has defended the lone male holdout – admitting that he “was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side.”The woman, who spoke to WBZ-TV on condition of anonymity, served as juror No. 5 in the high-profile Massachusetts trial, which ended Friday in a hung jury with an 11-1 split.“At the end of the day, there was so much doubt,” she told the outlet. Lindsay Clancy (left) and her attorney Kevin Reddington listen as the judge declares a mistrial at the conclusion of Clancy’s murder trial at the Plymouth County Superior Court in Plymouth, Mass., on Sept. 4, 2026. POOL/AFP via Getty Images Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict for Clancy, who acknowledged killing her three young children (above) but claimed she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Instagram/@heardwithlove“The prosecution didn’t have a figurative smoking gun. There was not a single moment throughout the presentation of that case where you could say ‘Yup, 100% I’m certain she did it’ or that she didn’t do it. There was too much gray area.”She said from the start of deliberations the majority of jurors – made up of nine women and three men – were trying to convince the lone holdout to change his vote, CBS reported.“The majority of people, it doesn’t matter what side they were on, were very firm in their stance and their belief from the beginning,” she said.Here’s the latest on Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial: Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer reveals what could happen next after her murder case ended in a mistrial Kevin Reddington reveals how Trump could help Lindsay Clancy — after acknowledging president can’t pardon killer mom Patrick Clancy rips ‘real-life threats’ he’s facing over hateful influencers’ ‘misinformation’ Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer asks Trump to consider pardoning his client in stunning ‘GMA’ plea “The stand-alone juror was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side. So, I’m going to kind of defend that individual in a sense. There were some big personalities in that room. But at the end of the day, it just came down to an inability to move past your convictions.”The unnamed juror said she initially believed Clancy should face justice for the deaths of her three children, Dawson, 3; Cora, 5; and Callan, 8, who she strangled with exercise bands on Jan. 24, 2023 at the family home in Duxbury.She admitted she was moved by claims made by her legal team that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was therefore not accountable for her actions at the time.“And maybe I still believe that in a certain way. I think that this is a woman who was not mentally healthy. She was someone who was in the throes of a significant mental health crisis,” the juror said. “I really just felt like she was so deep in it that she couldn’t see her way out.”

Fans Mourn the Tragic Loss of Burlesque Performer LuLu LoveBottom New

Fans Mourn the Tragic Loss of Burlesque Performer LuLu LoveBottom

Hunter Hardin, an adult content creator also known as burlesque performer LuLu LoveBottom, is being mourned by fans and friends after his apparent death at age 30. According to Out.com, Hardin died by suicide on Monday, September 7, after sharing a farewell message with his followers on Instagram. “I love you and I’m sorry I was unable to make it to the end. Goodbye forever. Love, LuLu,” a post shared by Hardin via Instagram on Monday read. He captioned the post, “Been hurt for the last time by someone I shared my heart with &#55357;&#56468;.” Burlesque performer Asura, who described themselves as Hardin’s “best friend,” later commented on the post with an update, confirming Hardin’s death. “His roommates broke down his door and called paramedics, but unfortunately it was far too late to resuscitate him,” Asura wrote. “Lulu has sadly passed away and I’m so truly sorry to anyone that knew him. &#55357;&#56468;” In a lengthy Instagram tribute on Tuesday, September 8, Asura remembered Hardin, captioning a series of photos of them together, “Never before, or since, have I met anyone that could light up a room like you could.” “You’ve touched so many people’s lives with such impact that you’ve spun entire communities through the love and positivity that you radiated,” Asura continued. “Your fearlessness was palpable. Your confidence and ambition constantly raised the bar for you, our community, and those you cherished.” A former high school football player, Hardin shared with Out Sports in March 2025 about transitioning from sports to burlesque. “It allows me to identify my femininity with my masculinity. There’s a lot of musculature to what I do. I’m oiled up, but I let myself express my femininity as well. It feels authentic and reflects the journey I saw for myself when I was younger,” he said. He added, “I’ve dealt with a lot of depression in my life, and sports was relief from that. The gym, practice — I'll always be a fan because of that.” In an interview with Queerty that same month, Hardin opened up about his burlesque persona, LuLu. “A lot of it has glitz and glamour and stuff for queer boys who want [to] be feminine,” he said of his onstage alter ego. “But there’s also a lot of darkness, a lot of emo, Ethel Cain energy. That comes from a lot of pain and suffering. I’m a deep feeler, and I journal a lot. I tie a lot of vampire themes to things. I like to make things a little rough and then a little glitz and glam. I like the juxtaposition of the two. I think it fits my personality.” “I’m a happy and bubbly person, and I also like to dance around and have some fun. But I’ve also been depressed,” he said. “I’m happy now, and it’s not something I’m shy about talking about. I like to use my art to express those feelings. A lot of it is pain and abandonment, a lot of suffering through romance. Things like that. I live in two different realms.” If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

Time Travel Theories Ignite Over Strange 'Smartphone' in 1937 Painting New

Time Travel Theories Ignite Over Strange 'Smartphone' in 1937 Painting

A nearly 90-year-old painting has generated online buzz and a bizarre conspiracy — that an indigenous man depicted in the artwork is holding a contemporary smartphone.“Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield,” by Italian American muralist Umberto Romano, depicts the indigenous man alongside other tribesmen and early English colonists in 17th-century Springfield, then part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.“iPhone in painting from 1937 JUST DISCOVERED???” wrote one poster on X Tuesday.“Now that one actually looks like a cell phone,” another user reportedly posted. Time travel claims have exploded after a detail was spotted in the 1937 painting “Mr Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield.” United States Postal ServiceThe man can be seen front and center within the artwork, which was created in 1937. He stares at a rectangular device, which has a coal color on the back and what appears to be chrome or reflective trim.X users noted last March that the mural is located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Office building, which was once the Springfield Main Post Office.The mural was one of six created for the post office, which Romano finished with students, funded by the Federal Arts Project, a 1935-1943 government program that hired visual artists during the Great Depression, according to the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.Despite the social media speculation, historians reportedly believe the object is simply a mirror. Mirrors were common trade items in 17th-century American colonies, which likely explains why the man appears to be studying his own reflection in the object.“Mr. Pynchon” in Romano’s painting is one of the founders of present-day Springfield.  “Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield,” by Italian American muralist Umberto Romano, shows an indigenous man, apparently holding a smartphone, in 17th century Springfield, Massachusetts.Pynchon moved to North America from Essex, England, in 1590 and arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony, where he became a founder and assistant treasurer. He acquired the land that would become Springfield from the Agawam Native Americans in 1636.To ensure historical accuracy, Romano consulted with local historian Harry Andrews Wright and author Esther Forbes, intending to capture the region’s development from 1636 to 1936, according to the Smithsonian.Rather than a single moment, the mural functions as a mosaic of the settlement’s establishment, featuring Pynchon as the central figure overseeing the interactions between the English settlers and the local Pocomtuc and Nipmuc peoples. While the work reflects the complex history of the area, art historians note that Romano’s semi-abstract style and deliberate choices in composition, absent anachronistic technology, are the intended focus of the piece.

Irene Papas Sparks Debate with Her Albanian Roots Claim New

Irene Papas Sparks Debate with Her Albanian Roots Claim

Një deklaratë e lidhur me legjendën e kinemasë greke, Irene Papas, ka rikthyer në vëmendje diskutimet mbi origjinën dhe identitetin e artistes së njohur ndërkombëtarisht. Papas, e cila ndërtoi një karrierë të jashtëzakonshme në kinemanë greke dhe atë ndërkombëtare, është kujtuar edhe për rrëfimet e saj mbi prejardhjen familjare. Në biografinë e saj, sipas materialeve që janë publikuar ndër vite, artistja ka folur për rrënjët e familjes dhe ka pohuar se ato lidhen me shqiptarët, duke e bërë këtë pjesë të historisë së saj personale një temë që vazhdon të diskutohet edhe pas ndarjes së saj nga jeta.VAZHDO LEXIMIN ME POSHTE!Irene Papas ishte një nga figurat më të njohura të kinemasë greke të shekullit XX dhe arriti të ndërtojë një emër përtej kufijve të Greqisë. Ajo u bë e njohur për publikun ndërkombëtar përmes roleve në produksione të mëdha kinematografike, ndër të cilat spikasin “Zorba the Greek” dhe “The Guns of Navarone”. Me një karrierë që zgjati për më shumë se pesë dekada, Papas u shndërrua në një prej fytyrave më të dallueshme të kinemasë greke dhe luajti në dhjetëra produksione, duke interpretuar role të fuqishme dhe komplekse.Megjithatë, përtej karrierës së saj artistike, prejardhja e Irene Papas është një nga temat që ka nxitur diskutime të shumta. Sipas rrëfimit të atribuuar asaj në biografinë e saj, artistja ka folur hapur për origjinën familjare dhe për lidhjet që familja e saj kishte me komunitetet arvanitase. Kjo çështje është bërë pjesë e një debati më të gjerë mbi historinë e komuniteteve arvanitase në Greqi dhe lidhjet e tyre historike e gjuhësore me botën shqiptare.Një nga deklaratat më të forta që i atribuohet artistes është ajo ku ajo shprehet se nuk dëshironte të largohej nga kjo botë pa folur për atë që ajo e konsideronte të vërtetën rreth origjinës së saj. “Nuk mund të largohem nga kjo botë pa thënë të vërtetën se jam shqiptare”, është shprehur ajo, sipas rrëfimit të publikuar. Kjo fjali ka marrë vëmendje të veçantë, pikërisht për shkak të profilit të saj si një prej simboleve më të mëdha të artit grek.Në rrëfimin e saj, Papas ka theksuar gjithashtu se babai i saj ishte me origjinë shqiptare, ndërsa nëna e saj vinte nga Epiri. Këto deklarata lidhen me historinë familjare të artistes dhe me mënyrën se si ajo vetë e ka përshkruar prejardhjen e saj. Emri i saj i lindjes ishte Irene Leleku, ndërsa familja e saj është lidhur në burime të ndryshme me komunitetet arvanitase, të cilat kanë një histori të gjatë në territorin e Greqisë.Pikërisht këtu qëndron edhe një nga aspektet më interesante të këtij rrëfimi. Identiteti arvanitas është një temë komplekse dhe historikisht e debatueshme, pasi arvanitasit janë një komunitet i vendosur prej shekujsh në pjesë të ndryshme të Greqisë dhe kanë lidhje historike me popullsi shqipfolëse. Për këtë arsye, çështja e mënyrës se si këto komunitete e kanë përjetuar dhe përkufizuar identitetin e tyre ndër breza vazhdon të jetë objekt diskutimi mes historianëve, gjuhëtarëve dhe studiuesve.Deklaratat e Irene Papas marrin një peshë të veçantë për shkak të pozitës që ajo kishte në kulturën greke. Ajo nuk ishte thjesht një aktore e njohur, por një prej figurave që përfaqësoi kinemanë greke në skenën ndërkombëtare. Për dekada me radhë, emri i saj u lidh me produksione të rëndësishme dhe me role që u vlerësuan nga publiku në vende të ndryshme të botës. Prandaj, çdo deklaratë e saj mbi identitetin dhe prejardhjen familjare kishte potencialin të merrte vëmendje shumë përtej jetës së saj private.Për publikun shqiptar, rrëfimi është bërë veçanërisht interesant për shkak të mënyrës së drejtpërdrejtë me të cilën Papas, sipas biografisë së saj, ka folur për origjinën e familjes. Në një rajon ku historia, gjuha dhe identiteti janë shpesh të ndërthurura, rrëfime të tilla kanë një rëndësi të veçantë emocionale. Megjithatë, është e rëndësishme që deklarata e artistes të kuptohet brenda kontekstit të rrëfimit personal dhe të mos përdoret automatikisht si provë e vetme për çështje komplekse historike apo identitare.Në Greqi, ndërkohë, tema e origjinës së Papas ka qenë objekt diskutimesh pikërisht për shkak të statusit të saj si ikonë e kulturës kombëtare. Një artiste që për shumë njerëz simbolizon kinemanë greke ka deklaruar se e konsideronte veten me rrënjë shqiptare, duke krijuar kështu një kontrast interesant mes identitetit publik dhe historisë familjare që ajo ka treguar. Ky kontrast është një prej arsyeve pse rrëfimi i saj vazhdon të tërheqë vëmendje edhe sot.Karriera e Irene Papas, megjithatë, mbetet shumë më e gjerë se çdo debat mbi prejardhjen. Ajo interpretoi në rreth 70 filma dhe punoi me emra të rëndësishëm të kinemasë ndërkombëtare. Për më shumë se 50 vjet, ajo ishte aktive në botën e artit dhe u shqua për mënyrën e saj të veçantë të interpretimit. Rolet e saj në filma të njohur ndërkombëtarisht e vendosën atë në një nivel ku emri i saj u bë i njohur përtej Greqisë dhe Ballkanit.Në këtë kuadër, deklarata mbi origjinën mund të shihet edhe si një pjesë e rrëfimit personal të një artisteje që gjatë gjithë jetës së saj ka qenë në qendër të vëmendjes publike. Identiteti për shumë njerëz nuk është domosdoshmërisht një koncept i vetëm dhe i pandryshueshëm, por mund të lidhet me familjen, vendin e lindjes, gjuhën, kulturën dhe kujtesën familjare. Për Papas, sipas deklaratave të atribuuara asaj, lidhja me rrënjët shqiptare ishte një pjesë që ajo dëshironte ta shprehte publikisht.Rrëfimi i Irene Papas rikthen kështu edhe një debat më të gjerë mbi marrëdhëniet historike dhe kulturore mes shqiptarëve dhe grekëve. Historia e rajonit ka qenë e karakterizuar nga lëvizje popullsish, bashkëjetesë komunitetesh, ndikime gjuhësore dhe ndryshime të identiteteve përgjatë shekujve. Në këtë realitet kompleks, historia e komuniteteve arvanitase përbën një kapitull të rëndësishëm që vazhdon të studiohet dhe interpretohet nga studiues të ndryshëm.Në fund, pavarësisht se si interpretohet deklarata e saj dhe pavarësisht debateve që mund të ngjallë origjina familjare, Irene Papas mbetet një figurë e jashtëzakonshme e kinemasë botërore. Karriera e saj, rolet ikonike dhe ndikimi që pati në art e kanë bërë pjesë të historisë së filmit. Ndërsa rrëfimi i saj për rrënjët shqiptare ka shtuar një tjetër dimension në historinë e saj personale, ai gjithashtu ka rikthyer në vëmendje diskutimet mbi identitetin, trashëgiminë dhe lidhjet kulturore që kanë ekzistuar prej shekujsh në këtë pjesë të Evropës.

Pregnant Mom Declared Brain Dead After Tragic Shooting in California

A mother in California was declared brain dead after she was shot in the head while 14 weeks pregnant with her second baby. Adriana Jimenez was shot while sitting in a car alongside her sister Maria Fernanda Jimenez outside of their apartment in the Canoga Park neighborhood on August 23. Her family has since announced that she has officially been declared brain dead. The siblings’ uncle told KABC on Thursday, September 3, that both Adriana and Maria Fernanda were shot by the gunman. Maria Fernanda was shot twice and is expected to recover. Adriana was shot in the head. Adriana also miscarried after the shooting, seemingly a result of her injuries. “Sadly, her baby also died,” the uncle told the outlet. The Los Angeles Police Department is still in the process of investigating the shooting and the gunman has been arrested. However, the name of the suspect or their exact relationship to the victims has not yet been publicly announced. “The suspect is someone who is close to the family,” the uncle said. “He is known to the family. We don’t understand why he made that decision.” The uncle went on to add that the shooting “has nothing to do with gangs,” but a suspected motive is not currently known. He then said that the situation was “tragic” and that he “couldn’t believe” that it happened.The family is now dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy, including caring for Adriana’s 6-year-old daughter. "That's the hardest part, knowing the little girl calls out for her mom and cries for her," the uncle said. "We know that we have to be strong, unite as a family and move past this tragedy." Following her killing, Adriana’s family set up a GoFundMe so that her remains can either be cremated or returned back to her native El Salvador. The fundraiser has earned more than half of its $10,000 goal as of time of publication. Adriana was remembered as “the loving mother of a beautiful 6-year-old daughter who will now have to grow up without her mom” on the fundraising page. “No child should have to experience a loss like this,” the GoFundMe page added. “And our hearts are shattered knowing the difficult road that lies ahead for her.” The LAPD told Us that the department is unable to provide any updates in the case due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
