The Minister of Justice, Stelian Ion, declared on Wednesday that he could not have approved the "Anghel Saligny" National Investment Program because, until now, he has not received the original project, mentioning that this opinion should not be viewed as a political instrument.
He added that pressure cannot be applied to himself or experts from the Ministry, specifying though that the PM has not made any pressure.
The government session scheduled for the first part of Wednesday was suspended, and will be resumed at 19:00.
PM Florin Citu said on Wednesday that the approval procedures or the "Anghel Saligny" National Investment Program were respected, but it was not adopted because it was an opinion from the Ministry of Finance, with observations. Asked if this project will be approved with the risk of USR PLUS to step down from governing, the PM replied: "This project will pass. If it has all the opinions and procedures fulfilled, it will pass".
