Overview
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis announced his resignation effective February 12, 2024, following significant pressure from populist opposition amid ongoing political turmoil. His presidency faced scrutiny after a contentious annulment of the election last December due to claims of Russian interference, leading to widespread protests and calls for impeachment. Iohannis, who cited national security concerns, faced criticism for his decision to stay in office post-annulment. With the May 4 rerun for the presidential election on the horizon and interim leadership by Senate President Ilie Bolojan, the political landscape in Romania remains fraught with uncertainty as far-right sentiments gain traction.
