On “Constitution Day”, President Klaus Iohannis “recalled” that in Romania there is also a fundamental law, but amid accusations that it systematically violates it, now the president calls for a revision of the Constitution. Coincidentally or not, on “Constitution Day”, the president participates directly in the formation of a majority in Parliament.

Today marks 29 years from the moment when, by approving the new Constitution in a referendum, the Romanian nation affirmed its attachment to the supreme values of democracy, in the name of the ideals of the Revolution of December 1989.
This vote enshrined not only the replacement of an authoritarian political regime by a pluralist one, but also manifested the aspiration for freedom, which guided Romanians in the dark period of the communist regime.
The Romanian Constitution is young, so the consolidation of our democratic path depends on a deep understanding of its spirit and the authentic assumption by all political and institutional actors of the values that sustain it.
Respecting pluralism, curbing tendencies to use the law for private gain and understanding the role and functions of the Romanian Constitution are fundamental aspects. All the more so since, in many of the moments of equilibrium, it turned out that the Constitution was not the source of political deviations or tendencies to move away from the Romanian democratic path, but the inability of some decision-makers to apply it in good faith and for and understand the role and responsibility of public office.
In recent years the revision of the Constitution has been debated. I remain consistent with the idea that this approach is an act of great responsibility, which must be carried out in such a way that the legislative interventions truly correspond to the social, economic and political reality of Romania.. The revision of the Basic Law cannot be used either as an electoral campaign issue or ridiculed, because any change has profound and long-term implications.. The Constitution goes beyond the horizon of a generation and, therefore, requires a deep analysis of the consequences on the evolution of the State, which transcends the current interests of political actors. Therefore, a future revision of the Constitution must genuinely encompass not only the aspirations of present generations, but also those of the next.
As President of Romania, I will continue to ensure compliance with the Constitution, the proper functioning of state authorities, and encourage the transposition of the values underlying the Basic Law into political and social practices that make democratic progress in our country possible. “Klaus Iohannis .
