“I am resigning from the Romanian Presidential Office to save Romania and its citizens from this crisis. In a statement on Monday, February 10th, Romanian insiders report that they are reporting.
The president’s announcement is scheduled to be discussed and voted by Congress on Tuesday, February 11th.
After demands from opposition parties were rejected twice for procedural reasons, this time the SOS was added by the SAVE Romanian Union (USR) We were able to gather the signatures needed to start the process.
Iohanis’ mission was extended after last year’s presidential election was nullified through a Constitutional Court (CCR) decision. Iohanis has argued that the extension is a constitution and said he will take office once the new president is sworn in, but the opposition has always questioned his legitimacy.
According to the constitution, Senate President, now Illy Borojan, is the interim president. He will hold this position until the election of a new president in May.
