President Iohannis: 'When social peace is in danger, there is need of a mature approach'

"When social peace is in danger, and we have enough examples for that in what happened in Romania in the past couple of weeks during the preparations for the Referendum on the revision of the Constitution, there is need that all the relevant actors in the society have a mature approach and stay open to dialogue. The first step in restoring social peace is to abandon the hate speech and acknowledge that only through tolerance we can overcome together such rifts that risk to divide us. We should leave all these hate storms and black thoughts in the past and, in turn, we should invest our energy in our future, in building a country where all Romanians should be able to live in understanding, without fears and commotion caused by imaginary dangers. Romania belongs to all Romanians," stated Klaus Iohannis, on the occasion of the ceremony on the decoration of the survivors of the Holocaust. 

According to the President, the Romanian state proved that it learnt from its dark past by acknowledging the historical truth.
