Iohannis: I am very glad modus vivendi has been found in the coalition

President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday he was "very glad" that a "modus vivendi" had been reached within the governing coalition.

That statement was made at Cotroceni Palace at investiture ceremony of new Health Minister Ioana Mihaila.

"You are taking over a very complicated ministry today (...) in an extremely difficult period, of pandemic. I wish you strength to work hard, a lot of success, I want you to integrate in the government team and I think it is a good time to say that I am very happy that a modus vivendi has been found in the coalition that gives us all hope that things will go even better from now on. In this sense, I also want the Government to find a very good collaboration between the members of the Government and, in this special case, to support the new colleague, Mrs. Mihaila, because she will have a lot of problems to solve," said Iohannis.

The head of state also wished the governing coalition "great success" in the vaccination campaign, agerpres.ro confirms.

And to end this unfortunate, pandemic stage with remarkably good results. I very much hope that, through a successful vaccination campaign, we will be able to get out of the pandemic by summer," Iohannis added.
