President Klaus Iohannis on Friday announced that he will reject the government nominations in order to appoint Lia-Olguta Vasilescu for minister of Development and Mircea Draghici for Transport minister.
"I haven't formulated a denial answer yet, because this is going to be, I will reject the nominations from the prime minister, because here we have legality arguments, along opportunity arguments as well. My team are working on this analysis, and yet by the middle of the next week I shall reveal the reasons included for which I will refuse the prime minister's proposals," the president said at the Cotroceni Palace, in a statement.
When asked if the fact that the two nominees have criminal files would be an argument for the denial, president Iohannis answered: "You'll be able to learn about these arguments in the reasoning I shall present publicly."
Regarding a possible talk with Premier Viorica Dancila on this refusal, President Iohannis said he intends to talk to her every time she reaches for him in matters that regard the government.
"During the Romanian presidency of the Council of the European Union, on European topics I'll be careful to both have stances that help us accomplish this presidency successfully," Iohannis added.
