Romania’s outgoing centrist president, Klaus Iohannis, has resigned as opposition hard-right parliamentary parties planned to have him impeached. “The request will have consequences both domestically and abroad,” Iohannis told reporters on Monday. “To spare Romania this pointless and negative crisis … I am resigning from the president’s office.” The European Union and NATO member state, which borders Ukraine, was plunged into institutional chaos last year when little-known far-right NATO critic Calin Georgescu won the first round of a presidential election. After accusations of Russian interference, denied by Moscow – Romania’s top court voided the entire election.
