President Iohannis Says He Is Dissapointed by "This Majority in Parliament"

President Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday that the Parliament "continues to obstruct the justice".

In a post on his Facebook account, he said "it is harder and harder to work with this Parliament".

The reaction comes after the Parliament opposed to the request by the anti-corruption prosecutors who asked for the arrest of the coalition member senator and former minister Dan Sova.

This is the second time the Senate rejects the same request concernig SDP senator Sova. This time the request has been approved by 66 senators, but rejected by 72 senators.

Senator Dan Sova is under prosecution for abuse of office. But he cannot be arrested without the Senate's approval.

The conservative opposition condemned the vote in Parliament.

Before the vote in the Senate, the prime minister Victor Ponta said "it is not about the justice, but a political battle".

The former president Traian Basescu has said that SDP-dominated Parliament's vote was not fair.

"If we are talking about someone who knows certain things about the SDP president Victor Ponta, then we get this kind of result", Basescu has said.
