The head of the Social Democrat Party (PSD), Liviu Dragnea, stated on Tuesday that he does not think any intelligence service has influenced the head of state's decision to not designate Sevil Shhaideh for the Prime Minister position.
"I am not sure, but I do not think that any intelligence service, at least I do not think that the SRI [Romanian Intelligence Service], has influenced this decision. That is what I think, maybe I have a wrong opinion. I have only evaluations. Because SRI has approved her both when she was appointed State Secretary, as well as when appointed Minister, and she was married to the same person. What it has come to - to destroy a family, to hear and to see things that remind me of the Middle Ages, xenophobia, and theories like from cartoons, you know this shows a big desperation on the part of some. I want to tell them something: we have the majority in the Parliament, I feel sorry that they have not been aware of this. We even have the majority in the Parliament and the Parliament, as I said when being elected the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, is the place where laws are made, but it is also the place where the abuses generated by certain laws are stopped. I cannot endlessly delay the matter with the Government, but the Parliament has the supreme power in this state", Dragnea stated,
He stated that he does not have any reproach to himself for proposing Sevil Shhaideh for the Prime Minister position.
"I guarantee you that any other proposal by PSD or, anyway, maybe with two - three exceptions, who went to a certain academy, would've been found to have been Al-Qaeda sympathies since childhood", the leader of Social Democrats stated.
