Senate's Tariceanu: President's statements have nothing but a purely political value

President of the Senate Calin Popescu-Tariceanu believes that the statements of the head of state at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Gov't only have "a purely political value." 

"In Romania, as long as the debate, transparence and lawful adoption procedures are observed, the laws are submitted to the constitutionality control. (...) I don't think that in these conditions the president's statements have anything else but a pure political value. And I believe that they are designed, not as the president stated by showing concern regarding social matters of the society, but rather to fuel these matters, inflaming those who have been protesting for a while, claiming untrue things such as the attack on the independence of Justice or on the fight against corruption. The realities prove exactly the contrary to what the president said on almost all levels," Tariceanu stated on Monday at Romania TV private television station. 

President Klaus Iohannis stated on Monday, at the swearing-in ceremony of Dancila Government, that the impairment of the justice independence is unacceptable. According to the head of state, the ruling coalition should not ignore the signal drawn by hundreds of Romanians, who have taken the streets for a year in support of the rule of law.
