Social Democratic Party (PSD) candidate running for president Viorica Dancila stated on Wednesday that President Klaus Iohannis breached the Constitution by demanding the disband of a political party, arguing that "it is an extremist attitude."
She said that the President intervened in Justice.
"The President breaches the Constitution of Romania if he intervenes in justice. Romania's President came out and said that the DIICOT [Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism] chief should be replaced, if the Prime Minister were to have said that it would have been a disaster. Romania's President came out and said that the Special Section [for Magistrates' investigation] should be disbanded. How can you, as President, ensure an independent justice when you give the directions which should be taken?," Dancila added.
