President Iohannis: We must make sure new Parliament fully cooperates with Judiciary
“The financing of the parties and of the election campaigns must be fair and open. Romanians abroad must have their voting right guaranteed. The reform of the electoral system must guarantee the presence of candidates concerned about the correct management of the public funds, who truly represent the citizens. Moreover, we must make sure the next Parliament will fully cooperate with the Judiciary. On Monday, I will start a new series of consultations on these matters with the parties and political forces represented in the Parliament,” the President wrote on Thursday on his Facebook page.
According to the Presidential Administration, the consultations will also focus on the parliamentary procedures for approving the prosecutors’ requests to investigate, detain, arrest or search members of the Parliament.
