Former president Traian Basescu, senator of the People's Movement Party (PMP) declared on Saturday that he showed up to the referendum for amending the Constitution in order to fulfill his civic duty of voting.
"I must do my civic duty, to vote", Traian Basescu said, after voting at the Jean Monnet Highschool in the Capital, asked about his thoughts when showing up to the polls.
Asked about the incident in the polling station when a member of the committee refused to shake hands with him, the former president said: "Yes, there was a gentleman reading a book, which shows that the committee is also politicized, probably a die-hard social-democrat."
The former head of state added that the gesture did not bother him.
"Stupidity cannot bother you, you can feel sorry for it", he specified.
Traian Basescu came to vote alongside his wife Maria Basescu.
