Candidate Iohannis: If Ponta is elected, we will have amnesty and pardon law

Klaus Iohannis, running for president as the candidate of the Christian Liberal Alliance (ACL), says if his opponent Victor Ponta (the incumbent prime minister and candidate of the Social Democrat Party, National Union for Romania's Progress and Conservative Party) is elected, 'next day the Parliament will pass the law of amnesty and pardon.'

'If my opponent Victor Ponta is elected president, next day the Parliament will approve the law of amnesty and pardon; it will be signed by the new president Ponta, and we will have back in the society all the corrupt and convicted people, all nicely cleaned,' Iohannis said in a debate at B1 TV.

ACL's candidate mentioned that if he is elected, he would not sign such a law. AGERPRES
