President Klaus Iohannis stated on Friday that he wants a Romania without corruption, on the occasion of celebrating the International Anti-Corruption Day.
"Today, 9 December, all around the world, the International Anti-Corruption Day is being celebrated. Corruption means poverty, stagnation, disregard for the citizens, disregard for the law. As I have stated before: corruption kills. That is why I want a Romania without corruption. This is the reason why I have stated each time that I support the fight against corruption. This is why I believe that the anticorruption fight in Romania has to continue in force," the head of state said at Cotroceni Palace.
He underlined that he highly appreciates the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) activity and of those who did their job "so that today, Romania should not appear on the list of corrupted countries and in order for it to become an example of action and determination in the anticorruption fight."
"The fight against corruption has to continue until the observance of the law and correctness become a normality, until they become a rule, until we build a society that doesn't bear and tolerate corruption. I believe we are on the right track, but it's important to continue and in order to continue it's good that we vote. I expect you on Sunday to vote!," the head of state concluded.
