Romania's president fined jokingly on behalf of Hungarian minority

Romania's National Anti-Decrimination Council (CNDC) fined President Klaus Iohannis today for insulting jokes in the behalf of the Hungarian minority.

Iohannis must pay $1.130 for suggesting that the Social Democrats (PSD) and their political allies have agreed to hand over Hungary a part of Transylvania, in which ethnic Hungarians prevail.

Responding to the draft bill for greater autonomy of the region, the president said <x0m> good morning, PSD” issuing acronym with a strong Hungarian accent. The bill, meanwhile, has been rejected, broadcast Kosovo priss.

Romanian president told the paper gformedia. R that it will appeal the extremely political “decision” of the National Anti-Discrimination Council (CNCD), which should officially declare its decision within 30 days.

Iohannis, who is of German origin, received the Charlemange Award in December for support of minorities in Romania.

Romania is approaching regular parliamentary elections scheduled for later this year, or early 2021.

Iohannis and his liberals demanded early elections after the PSD lost power in November and joined the opposition after a series of corruption scandals. But the PSD tried to prevent this, and later the coronary crisis broke out.
