The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) claims that President Klaus Iohannis violates the Constitution "by openly supporting the candidate Florin Citu [incumbent PM - editor's note] for the position of PNL (National Liberal Party) leader, while the latter violates the law "by bribing Liberal mayors."
Simion also says that Prime Minister Florin Citu "uses public budget resources to buy his votes, in front of everyone."
"The government recently informed the mayors that they will receive additional money for projects and salaries, not provided for in the 2021 budget, precisely now, around the PNL internal elections. Everything must work in favour of Citu. It seems that nothing else matters: Constitution, laws, common sense," says the AUR co-chair. AGERPRES
