President Iohannis about appointments of ministers: No ultimatum from PSD; my analysis, after December 1

President Klaus Iohannis said on Thursday that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) may be referred to the Constitutional Court in the case concerning the appointment of the new ministers, that the Social Democrats cannot give him any ultimatum and that he will analyze these proposals after December 1, according to Agerpres.

"I think that they are under some political pressure and they ramble. PSD cannot give me any ultimatum. I said that after the December 1 celebrations I will analyze these issues and we will talk more then. (...) In my opinion, constitutionally, I have the right to do exactly what I am doing. I am a president that respects the Constitution to the letter. Rest assured that what I do is constitutional," Iohannis said.

Asked if he is thinking of not taking note of the resignations of Paul Stanescu and Lucian Sova in the upcomimg period, he replied: "In the next period I will tell you how I am going to deal with the matter, but not today."
