The president had previously challenged the law in the Constitutional Court.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis returned a law to parliament that would declare a holiday on June 4, the anniversary of the Treaty of Trianon.

The head of state has previously challenged the law in the Constitutional Court. He argued that it violated the principle of separation of powers, the prohibition of discrimination and equality of citizens, and a political declaration rather than a law that defines rights and obligations. The panel rejected his protest in mid-July.

In his recent petition to parliament, Iohannis argued that the legislation had been criticized by various experts and NGOs, and that there should be wide consultation on declaring the anniversary a holiday.

According to the president, the criticisms show that the legislation was not the result of an authentic and meaningful public debate, and he called on Parliament to start the legislative process from scratch with historians, researchers, academics, educational institutions and civil society.

According to the president, Romania, as a member state of the EU and a country committed to European principles and values, must be open to dialogue, mature on issues that can cause division in society, and state institutions bear a great responsibility in this.

On May 13, the Romanian House of Representatives approved by a large majority – with 21 votes against and 25 abstentions – the bill presented by the Social Democratic government of Titus Corlatean. By law, the government and local authorities must ensure that Romania’s national flag is raised in public on June 4, the anniversary of the peace treaty that ended the First World War and deprived Hungary of two-thirds of its territory. . The law authorizes state and local authorities to provide logistical or budgetary support for the organization of scientific, educational and cultural events to raise awareness about the importance of the Trianon Treaty, which must also be reported by the Romanian public media.
