Resignation of Romanian President – ISNA

According to RCO News Agency, Romanian President Klaus Johannes said he was resigning on February 5 so that parliament would not be forced to impeach him.

“A few days, the parliament votes to dismiss me and a crisis begins in Romania, because the referendum on the president’s resignation begins … I will resign to save Romania,” Johannes said in a justification meeting. So tomorrow I will leave my post on February 5. “

Claus Johannes says he resigned from his position to prevent the political crisis from being impeached by parliament. “I resign from Romanian presidency to Romania and its citizens from this crisis,” he said.

This decision has been made following recent political tensions in Romania. In recent weeks, there have been widespread demonstrations in protest of the cancellation of the presidential election, with thousands of citizens and members of the extremist right -wing “Alliance for Romanian unity”. The protesters called for a return to democracy and holding elections in the second round.

Johannes’s resignation can have a significant impact on Romanian and regional political developments. Given Romania’s role as a member of the EU and NATO, these changes may affect the country’s domestic and foreign policies.

The cancellation of the presidential election occurred in December and after the right -wing and pro -Russian nominee Colin Georgesco won the first round. The protests in Romania began on December 5, when the Constitutional Court canceled the elections two days before the second round.

In fact, the presidency of Claus Johannes ended on December 5, but he remained his successor as the head of the country.
