Iohannis: "An order for amnesty and rehabilitation would be a disaster for Romania"

Key statements from the chair:

– 100 years after the national ideal, the governors have the obligation to concretize the unification.

– over time, the absence of such a highway has had serious consequences

– Moldova is the only major historical region without a motorway, although the project has been on the public agenda for 11 years

– by the indolence and lover of some politicians, this need has become a matter of national security

Unfortunately, government law needed to take concrete action. To make such an obiotic should not wait for Parliament, the government has all the levers

– In the centenary year, we should have been able to run on the Union Highway

– politicians must keep their promises

– think seriously about how we want Romania to look to the future. A free highway Romania is condemned to underdevelopment.

– As long as there will be no highway, the region will not be prosperous. This project is of strategic importance and will contribute to the European integration of the Republic of Moldova.

– not doing this road means breaking the law

– I warn the government that in the budget next year, it will be necessary to provide funds for the Unirii highway. We have the support of the European Commission.

– is a priority project for millions of Romanians

– Major public works must occupy a central place

– do not think that this government will dare to violate the law

– It's their problem that there is no project on the highway

– to distinguish the circus, the political scandal and the expectations of Romanians

– I will answer the Prime Minister

– forgiveness and amnesty have already been the subject of a GEO if you remember it in early 2017 and have given rise to very big demonstrations from Romanians who do not wish not. EGO 13 was then removed. There are signs that the PSD has not abandoned this idea. Even some PSD politicians pass these ideas into the public space. Such an order would be a disaster for Romania. This would trigger an unprecedented political crisis. I appeal to the fine politicians of the PSD for them to do everything that they regard as such an order as out of the question.

– I have all the information circulating in the public space on such an order

– All protocols have been declassified

Klaus Iohannis promulgated Thursday, at a public ceremony, the law on the realization of the Iasi-Târgu Mures motorway, in the presence of representatives of the two civic associations defending the highway and legislators to the Origin of the project.

The law on the construction of the Unirii highway, Iasi – Targu Mures, was adopted on 7 November by the Plenary Assembly of the Chamber of Deputies. The highway would be built from the state budget through the Ministry of Transport.

The representatives of the three associations then submitted to the President of Romania a memorandum on the motorways of Moldova, documenting the evolution of the actions of the civil society, the correspondence with the responsible authorities as well as historical, technical and economic questions. , geostrategic and social.
