Surprise scenario: Klaus Iohannis could step down from the President seat
The PSD-PNL coalition discussed in a meeting that took place on Monday a scenario according to which Klaus Iohannis could resign from Cotroceni, to occupy the position of interim president of the European Council, sources told Pro TV News.
According to these sources, the proposal would have come even from the social democrats, in a context in which the current president of the European Council, Charles Michel, made an unprecedented decision to leave his position prematurely, in July.
If no successor is found, EU procedures provide that, in the event of the termination of the mandate due to an “impediment”, the president of the European Council is temporarily replaced by the European leader whose country holds the six-month presidency of the EU Council.

No need even to try. Orban will fill in as the Hungary gets the rotational presidency. This talk is just horse feed for the dumb.
“In the event of the termination of the mandate due to an impediment, the president of the European Council is temporarily replaced by the European leader whose country holds the six-month presidency of the EU Council.” What country is that?
