PNL (National Liberal Party) leader Florin Citu on Wednesday said that the information according to which he met with the head of state, Klaus Iohannis, and prime minister Nicolae Ciuca, who asked him not to criticize the actions of the coalition and the Executive were untrue, pointing out that his statements were about the need to stick to the governing programme, which is not criticism.
He was asked by reporters about a supposed discussion he had with President Klaus Iohannis and Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca, who allegedly asked him not to criticize the actions of the coalition and the government.
"False information. No... Also, can you show me in what way did I criticise the Government? I said that the governing programme must be observed, indeed, but this is not criticism," Citu said at Parliament.
When he was told that he criticized Prime Minister Ciuca after the government decided to take a series of measures to ease the restrictions imposed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic during the winter holidays, he replied: "No, what I said was that I was criticized when I took relaxation measures in the summer and now, when the fifth wave comes, we seem to relax, I didn't criticize anyone."
Asked if he has talked to the head of state lately, Citu said: "This year you should have gotten used to the fact that I am not telling you when I talk to the president. I talk to the prime minister very often, this I can tell you., Agerpres informs.
