President Klaus Iohannis will hold the first round of consultations with the political parties that made it to the Parliament after the December 11 elections.
“Tomorrow we will hold the first round of consultations with the parties that entered Parliament. We will see how each party sees the continuation, which obviously has to do with forming a new Government,” the head of state said during a Tuesday press conference at the Cotroceni Palace.
Iohannis said that, if by the end of the week the final results will come in, very likely next week will call on the new Parliament.
On Wednesday Iohannis sent on Wednesday a letter to party chairs inviting them to consultations at Cotroceni Palace. Each delegation can be made up of a maximum of five people.
According to the Presidential Administration, the head of state will hold consultations at 10 am with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), followed by the National Liberal Party (PNL), the Save Romania Union (USR), the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), the Popular Movement Party (PMP) and the Parliamentary Group of national minorities.
The president also said he is adamant about the fact that a politician who received a sentence cannot become a minister.
