The interim speaker of the Senate, the social-democrat Robert Cazanciuc, said on Friday that President Klaus Iohannis, by sending back to Parliament the law by which parliamentary elections could be postponed, sent a very clear message - the elections will take place at the peak of the pandemic and he is not interested in health, education, the economy, but in all the power.
He added that the PNL and President Klaus Iohannis have a three-step plan, which they "set in motion immediately after the local elections."
"Step one was to discourage from voting the categories who do not vote for them. They decided to hold elections in the peak of the pandemic to scare them and keep them at home. Step two was to manipulate the data on the evolution of the pandemic, all the reports from the last period showed us that the Government presents data for the benefit of the PNL. There are no clear criteria, only criteria that are changed according to the political interests of the PNL. Step three - blocking at all costs Parliament to change the date of the elections. They used all legislative tricks to postpone the law allowing Parliament to determine the date of the election if the pandemic becomes extremely serious from taking effect. Today they put the last piece of this puzzle, The president resent the law for reexamination, tergiversating its taking effect. Their calculation is profoundly wrong," he mentioned.
