ELITE ARMIES ON BUCHAREST STREETS ON DECEMBER 1, 2016

All high officials usually assist the army parade and the ceremony in Bucharest and so it was in 2016 on Romania National Day. There will be no place for politicians who face legal charges, like the second man as importance in the state hierarchy, the Senate president or other political leaders like social-democrats, ex-PM and so on.  The president said there are well-known attitudes in the North-Atlantic Alliance countries for politicians who must give legal explanations to prosecutors, to step back from political elite at least for a while. This should happen in Romania said the President Klaus Iohannis.
