The National Council Against Discrimination, a state watchdog, said on Tuesday that it is investigating Dorin Florea, the mayor of the northern city of Targu Mures, after he called for Roma parents to have their income and education checked before they have a child.

Romanian human rights activists expressed anger on Tuesday after the country's anti-discrimination council decided the previous day that Prime Minister Viorica Dancila did not offend people with autism spectrum disorder when she called MEPs "autistic" for opposing changes to the country's justice system.
