Romania's president backs protesters against government
By EUobserver
Romania's president Klaus Iohannis told reporters in Malta that he supports the people protesting against a new government decree decriminalising low-level corruption. "We have hundreds of thousands of my Romanians out in the streets and I trust them, I trust my people, I believe in Romania," he said. Iohannis said the issue was a matter of principle and that the "rule of law has to prevail."
