MP Dan Tanasa, with the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) said that Iohannis was in office illegally and that the Romanians no longer wanted him. Also from the opposition, the head of the Save Romania Union (USR), Elena Lasconi, said that the president&#8217;s resignation does not offer answers regarding the annulment of last year\u2019s election and that, thorough changes are further needed in the relation between citizens and the state institutions. Representing the governing coalition, the Liberal mayor of Cluj-Napoca, Emil Boc, said that resignation is preferable to impeachment, which would have complicated both the domestic political scene and Romania\u2019s credibility abroad. The Social Democratic mayor of Craiova, Olgu\u0163a Vasilescu, pointed out that, as regards the presidential elections, the ruling coalition&#8217;s candidate continues to be the former Liberal leader Crin Antonescu. The latter said that Klaus Iohannis&#8217; resignation was a wise decision as it pre-empted the impeachment bid and a referendum. Senate speaker Ilie Bolojan, head of the Liberal Party, a member of the ruling coalition, will take over as interim president with limited powers until the election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REACTIONS \u2013 The opposition parties in the Bucharest Parliament, which had initiated the procedure to impeach outgoing President Klaus Iohannis, welcomed the latter&#8217;s decision to resign.
