WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) released the following statement as Romania prepares to hold the second round of voting in its presidential election:
“I congratulate the people of Romania on the successful first round of their presidential election. This marks an important step forward for Romanian democracy, and reaffirms the voice of the Romanian voters in their quest to reclaim their path to democracy, abruptly lost last December.
“Romania must regain its complete trust in the judiciary system and the rule of law – as guaranteed by its Constitution. As the second round of voting approaches, I look forward to the peaceful transfer of power and to deepening the partnership between the new Romanian government and the United States Congress.”
