People's Movement Party (PMP, opposition) President Traian Basescu said on Thursday that at the end of his mandate as senator he will end his political activity and that right-wing parties should participate in the European Parliament elections on a common list.
He added that he sees the European Parliament elections as an exercise before the presidential elections, because this alliance must gain experience.
Asked if President Klaus Iohannis can win the elections on his own, without a strong PNL, Basescu replied: "He cannot, because the PSD's political vector is extremely strong. It is a huge risk, Why not take actions, prevent a failure and you have the surprise that you end up with Dragnea as president or a Dragnea's man as president?"
The former head of state said that he did not want to run for a seat in the European Parliament and that after completing his mandate as senator he will end his political activity.
