President Klaus Iohannis said that the current election campaign does not lack "completely demagogic" initiatives such as those that provide for "inapplicable" income increases for various social classes.
Iohannis urged Romanians to find out, to compare electoral offerings and projects and to make educated choices.
"Our communities will grow and develop through the care and responsibility of each of us, voting for those who have earned our trust and represent us best," Iohannis said.
Iohannis added that the elections had already been postponed due to the epidemic and mentioned that measures had been taken to allow the elections to take place and the citizens who come to the polls to be protected.
"We do not know yet how long the pandemic will last and that is why the local elections cannot be postponed indefinitely. The interim capacity and lack of legitimacy of the elected officials who have completed their terms of office months ago is harming both local governments, as well as our democracy as a whole," said Iohannis.
