Chairman of the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) Kelemen Hunor said he is skeptical regarding the possibility that President Klaus Iohannis enforces the proposal of Justice Minister Tudorel Toader to dismiss the prosecutor-in-chief of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) Laura Codruta Kovesi.
The UDMR Chairman believes that things could remain unchanged until the mandate of the DNA prosecutor-in-chief expires.
"Tudorel Toader started the removing procedure, but we know that President Iohannis has no reason to dismiss her. He said it. And Mrs Prosecutor stated that she had done her job correctly, perfectly, did no wrong, therefore, she has no reason to resign. I believe that things will remain this way, nothing will change and until she finishes her mandate, I don't know, the next year or when the three-year mandate expires, things are to remain as we know them. This is my opinion," Kelemen Hunor stated.
Justice Minister Tudorel Toader announced on Thursday, after presenting the report on the managerial activity of the DNA, that he is to start the procedure for removing from office Chief Prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate Laura Codruta Kovesi for ''acts and deeds that are intolerable under the rule of law.''
