BUCHAREST - A senior Romanian lawmaker accused President Klaus Iohannis of seeking to hijack this month’s European Parliament elections in the country by calling a referendum on the same day on the ruling coalition’s contested judicial plans.
The referendum and the EU election will be the first test of public support for the governing coalition and its judicial changes, which the European Union and U.S. State Department as well as Iohannis say undermine the rule of law and democratic standards in Romania, seen as one of the most corrupt EU states.
Tariceanu, who has hinted he might also run for the presidency, said the referendum would “solve no major problem because I do not believe there is someone in Romania who will say they do not want rule of law or an independent judiciary”.Defending the coalition’s judicial changes, Tariceanu, leader of parliament’s the upper house, said anti-graft prosecutors and the secret services had been using methods reminiscent of the communist era to target high-level politicians.
