Iohannis reacts to JusMin’s request to have Prosecutor General dismissed: The request, unsuitable. President demands that Toader resign

October 25, 2018

President Klaus Iohannis conveys that the Justice Minister’s request on having the Prosecutor General dismissed from office is completely unsuitable and liable to generate distrust in the system and concern. The President once again demands that the Justice Minister resign. “Romanian President Klaus Iohannis has received and will analyse the Report on the managerial activity at the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, with the proposal to dismiss from office Mr Augustin Lazar. President Klaus Iohannis appreciates the Prosecutor General’s activity and considers that the Justice Minister’s request is completely unsuitable and liable to generate distrust in the system and concern among our European partners. The manner in which the minister publicly presented the report is tendentious and denotes his intention to politically subordinate the prosecutors,” the Presidential Administration points out. President Klaus Iohannis once again demands that Tudorel Toader resign. “Crediting the idea that prosecutors are the enemies of society is being attempted once again. But, in representing the general interests of society and in defending the rule of law, prosecutors play an essential role, expressly consecrated by the Fundamental Law. I call on the magistrates not to lose confidence in the Romanian society’s capacity to resist this new assault on the rule of law. The Justice Minister’s undertaking to dismiss from office the Prosecutor General strengthens the Romanian President’s conviction that Mr Tudorel Toader must urgently leave from the helm of the ministry he leads. The Romanian state has the obligation to protect the rule of law, the freedoms and rights of its citizens, and this cannot be done without an independent and efficient Public Ministry,” the mentioned source adds.
