RESIGNATION\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Klaus Iohannis\u00a0\u00a0Monday announced he stepped down as president of Romania. He mentioned he would leave office on February 12. Parliament initiated an impeachment procedure, but this is a useless and groundless move, as I have never breached the country\u2019s Constitution,\u00a0\u00a0Klaus\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Iohannis explained.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The head of state also warned that the move would have consequences both at national and international level.<\/p>\n
Previously, the joint standing bureaus of the two chambers had decided that Parliament would discuss on Tuesday, in a plenary meeting, the Opposition\u2019s impeachment request.\u00a0\u00a0The document was signed by 178 MPs, most of them from the self-proclaimed sovereigntist opposition.<\/p>\n
Klaus Iohannis\u2019 second and last term in office came to an end on December 21, 2024. The Constitutional Court decided to cancel the presidential election and to keep Klaus Iohannis in office until a new president is elected, because of foreign interference in the election process.
