Social Democratic Party (PSD)'s chairman Liviu Dragnea's request concerning the recall of the Romanian Ambassador to the United States, George Maior, is outside any diplomacy rules, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Cristian Diaconescu told on Monday RFI radio station.
According to him, the procedure for assigning an ambassador, and, implicitly, that of revocation, has absolutely nothing in common with the political speech and the political decision and nor should such things even happen.
"This would mean that our ambassadors must know that their mission starts and ends when the political decides, as if they represent political parties abroad, and not Romania, which is a crude abnormality. If diplomats report to political parties, as of that moment one cannot talk about even remotely coherent international relations," Diaconescu argued.
Asked if, in his opinion, the Romanian ambassador exceeded his duties by commenting the letter that Rudolf Giuliani sent to the Bucharest authorities, Diaconescu showed that such evaluations are carried out only by the Foreign Ministry.
PSD Chairman Liviu Dragnea announced that the Prime Minister was requested on Saturday, at the meeting of the PSD parliamentary groups, in Neptun, that the procedures for recalling the Romanian ambassador to the US, George Maior be kicked off.
