President Klaus Iohannis said in Ploiesti on Wednesday evening that "it is clear" Liviu Dragnea must resign as speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.
In the context, the head of state said that he was receiving "interesting" questions from his counterparts who do not understand how Romanians tolerate such situations.
"You can realize what interesting questions I receive from the other heads of state and government I meet almost weekly in different places. People do not understand how things have gone this far and it is quite difficult to explain how Romanians tolerate such an approach at the helm of the state. I hope it will be resolved quite quickly," added Iohannis.
Asked if he feels embarrassed when he receives such questions, the president denied, pointing out, however, that it is "unpleasant" to receive questions about the criminal problems of those holding the second and third place in the leadership of the state.
"I do not feel embarrassed, because I represent Romania and I represent all Romanians and I am proud to represent Romania, but I cannot avoid these questions. Even if I find explanations related to the rule of law and the way we see the rule of law, however it is unpleasant to be asked how it is possible for the number two and number three in the state to be involved in criminal investigations," Klaus Iohannis said.AGERPRES .
