Klaus Johannis is surprisingly resigning - who will be his successor?

Vienna, Österreich - After he was under pressure from the Opposition, Klaus Johannis, the former Romanian President, surprisingly announced his resignation. Johannis will resign within 48 hours, which makes him the first president in Romanian history that resigns. This decision follows a initiated official ceremony by the right -wing populist opposition in parliament. The resignation takes place to avoid further political unrest in Romania after his previous term of office formally ended in December 2024, but failed to confirm the official confirmation as president until his successor was notified, such as the Wien.at .

Johannis, who described the resignation as "completely useless", assured that he had never violated the constitution at any time. Nevertheless, he would like to avert a possible political crisis that could be triggered by his departure and the uncertainty about the upcoming elections. The country's political course seems to change with this change at the top Romanian leadership, especially after the previous presidential election was canceled due to social media due to manipulation.
