Prime Minister Ludovic Orban, the national chairman of the National Liberal Party ( PNL), said on Thursday in Giurgiu that the reproaches made to the Liberals of the context of Florin Iordache's voting in as chairman of Parliament's Legislative Council are not justified, urging the Save Romania Union (USR), PNL's political allies, to focus instead on the fight against the Social Democratic Party (PSD).
In the opinion of the PNL leader, there is no "scandal" between PNL and USR, as the real problem is the PSD promoting controversial Florin Iordache to this position.
"There is no scandal; both we and USR have attacked the election of Florin Iordache. The scandal itself is that a majority controlled by PSD and allies could make such an inept decision to put such a person at the helm of the Legislative Council. That is the worst thing that has happened in Parliament. Otherwise, I don't want to respond to comments that seem to me to be out of place," added Orban.
