Social Democratic Party (PSD) Chair Marcel Ciolacu sent a letter to European Commission leaders Ursula von der Leyen and Frans Timmermans, asking the EU's executive to demand that Romanian ruling parties "stop current undemocratic practices."
"As the leader of the opposition in my country, I am glad to know that Romanians can rely on friends like you, who put the rights and security of the people first. Therefore, given the recent events in Romania, I feel forced to inform you that democracy and respect for the rule of law are seriously endangered by the governing parties in our country and I ask for the help of the European Commission in managing the abuses committed by the governing parties," Ciolacu also writes, agerpres report.
He maintains that the opposition is at the disposal of the Commission "to identify appropriate solutions, so as to avoid the situation in which Romania is slipping into an undemocratic way." He added that the leaders of the governing coalition parties practice "a double language, at the international level, which can be easily dismantled." "They say one thing in Brussels and on the other hand they act against European values, in Romania," says the social democrat.
