Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Liviu Dragnea stated on Sunday evening that Romania "doesn't need messianic leaders", but a concrete governance program, which will lead to economic growth.
"If we were to win the elections, the PSD will propose a prime minister who will create a Government with a good support, a powerful support in Parliament, and which will apply the governance programme which we worked on (...). We have established from the beginning that we don't talk about persons, because it has been discussed too much about this topic. I have also seen tonight in Mr. Ciolos a slight plagiarism, but I don't mind - after what I have stated on Tuesday on television, namely that Romania doesn't need any more or doesn't need messianic leaders, Romania needs a coherent programme, based on numbers, which will generate an economic growth, a development of the middle class of Romania," Dragnea stated on Realitatea TV private television station.
The PSD Chairman added that the previous options of the "messianic leaders" led to "disastrous" results for Romania.
"I don't believe in messianic leaders because it has been proved in Romania's history, at least from the Revolution onwards, that, when elections were manipulated in the attempt of creating a project of a messianic leader, the result was disastrous for Romania," Dragnea added.
Liviu Dragnea mentioned that in regards to forming the future Government, the PSD wants to form a majority in Parliament, alongside the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), without the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR).
