The draft law that provides that the incumbent president can run for parliamentary elections, submitted on Wednesday, September 18 by the PNL, has sparked numerous discussions. And Elena Lasconi, USR candidate in the presidential elections, strongly criticized this controversial bill.

Concretely, a law would be voted that would give Klaus Iohannis the right to run for a political position and be president of the country at the same time, something that is currently prohibited by the Constitution.
The term of office of Klaus Iohannis ends on December 21, but until then there are parliamentary elections on December 1.
Present in the Euronews Romania studio, Elena Lasconi had a very harsh reaction in relation to this very controversial bill that would allow Klaus Iohannis to run for the Senate for PNL Bucharest on the first position on the list. At the same time, she made a hard x-ray of the mandate of the current head of state, which she said is perceived as “lazy” at the international level.
“It is a long way from NATO to the list of PNL senators. It is an excessively long way from a lukewarm post somewhere at the level of the European Union to this list of senators. I liked a headline I read in the press, a headline written by a journalist. This president Klaus Iohannis is a beggar president. He failed to get any of the positions he dreamed of precisely because he is internationally perceived as lazy. He is a very weak politician and has not been able to achieve anything. And then he thought how about trying a little more, even though 9 out of 10 Romanians don’t like Klaus Iohannis, because he didn’t exist for 10 years”said Elena Lasconi.

The USR candidate in the presidential elections was also very critical regarding the lack of activity of Klaus Iohannis, criticizing him for his frequent trips with private planes rented at the expense of the Romanian state.
“In the last five years I haven’t seen him in the Parliament, I haven’t seen him fighting for anything, but only on luxury vacations, only on trips with luxury planes. It is not normal what is happening. And if the PSD would support such a law, although it seems blatant to me to have a law that supports certain candidates. If the PSD supports this, it will prove that they have always been in cahoots with the PNL”Elena Lasconi also said.
