President Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday that the prime minister is not established by party vote, but by vote in Parliament.
The president was asked if the PNL chairman should also be prime minister or the prime minister also the chairman of the PNL.
“I think it is very good as it is now, because the coalition decided by vote and the prime minister is not established by party vote, but by vote in Parliament, which happened,” Iohannis said.
He was also asked who should rather win the PNL leadership between Ludovic Orban and Florin Citu.
“Rather, who will win the elections,” the head of state said, according to Agerpres.

I don’t think the motion of no-confidence will succeed

I do not believe it,” he said. He added that he is optimistic about the unity of the ruling coalition. “We have a coalition that has fully understood that their chance is unity and now they have a very good opportunity to prove that unity. I am optimistic,” Iohannis added.
