[IMG]http://www.romaniajournal.ro/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Victor-Ponta-620x330.jpg[/IMG] “In my view, a prime-minister facing criminal charges is an impossible situation for Romania. On the other hand, a political crisis is all that Romania needs less, it would be the worst thing to happen. Considering all these, I ask for PM Victor Ponta’s resignation,” Iohannis said. [/QUOTE] To be honest, I expected the DNA to arrest him the moment he was voted out of office at the next election so that he wouldn't have the immunity. Of course, after he was asked to resign by our President, he refused to and most likely the Parliament will vote to not suspend him, which would ultimately mean that now we gotta go out and do it ourselves. EDIT: His cousin-in-law? Cazanciuc Robert, the Justice Minister, defends him and states that he should not resign because he is innocent.
