political parties to sign a pact for strengthening Romania’s European progress.
The document refers to putting the referendum’s results into legislation and
revising the justice laws in keeping with recommendations from the Venice
Commission and the European Commission. Iohannis also proposed that the signatories
of the document pledge to put into legislation a.s.a.p the measures needed for guaranteeing
the Romanian citizens’ right to vote both in the country and abroad. The
statements come after the talks the president held with the representatives of
the ruling PSD and ALDE, the representatives of the People’s Party Movement and
