Minister of Interior Carmen Dan stated on Wednesday evening that President Klaus Iohannis tried to induce the idea that the people who provoked the acts of violence at the 10 August rally would have supposedly been sent from the Gendarmerie, a fact which she rules out.
She specified the president could have requested information on the people among the protesters who initiated the acts of violence at the protest in Victoriei Square, but didn't.
"He passed on judgment beforehand and subsequently he had no interest in requesting information, because he has the right to do so, so that he can get some perspective. On the one hand he affirms the competent institutions must do their job but goes public on the very evening of 10 and passes judgment regarding the Gendarmerie's action. More than that, he calls on the General Prosecutor to take note ex-officio, general prosecutor who does not report to the president and who, what do you know, does it with bells and whistles," Carmen Dan further said.
