President Klaus Iohannis intervened on Saturday in the quarrel in the governmental coalition, stating, in a Facebook post, that the new alliance between USR PLUS and AUR risks to compromise the reforms package of the governing coalition. ‘I ask USR PLUS to think carefully about the implications of their association with the objectives promoted by AUR and put an end to these irresponsible political gestures, to respect their electorate and to come back to have a dialogue to find together with their partners in the coalition a viable and rational solution to this situation’ the head of state said. „ ‘The new alliance created these days between USR PLUS and AUR is an insult to the Romanians who, at the parliamentary elections of last year, decided through their vote the road which our country should follow. By alliance with a party which does not observe the western values, USR PLUS betray the will of the citizens who hoped in a coalition of centre-right which should develop Romania. It is a worrying signal and extremely grave that a party which claims to have democratic values and wants reforms to have an alliance with a party whose vision is contrary to the Euro-Atlantic values of Romania. By their decision to sign and lodge a censure motion against their own government, USR PLUS discredited themselves to the Romanians and their own electorate’ wrote president Iohannis, on Saturday on Facebook. He said that the destruction of the coalition and of the reforms risk to throw Romania in an economic and social crisis. ‘The destruction of the coalition and the ruining of the whole package of reforms assumed through the governing programme risk to throw Romania in a profound economic and social crisis. The development of the communities in Romania is necessary and cannot be stopped by USR PLUS in a political game. I ask USR PLUS to think carefully about the implications of their association with the objectives promoted by AUR and stop these irresponsible political gestures, to respect their electorate, to have a dialogue to find together with their partners in the coalition a viable and rational solution to this situation’ Klaus Iohannis said.
