The chairman of the Pro Romania party, Victor Ponta, said on Thursday that he supports the organization of early parliamentary elections together with the local ones or a week later.
He added that the representatives of the Save Romania Union (USR) "either don't know what they're talking about, or they'll fooling you" when they tell you that early elections can be organized in January and February.
"It can't be done, because you have some constitutional procedures, but they can be done together with the local ones or a week apart and it would be good for Romania not to spend the entirety of 2020 in crisis, in elections. We should by May know clearly who has a majority, who rules Romania for the next four years, who's in the Opposition for the next four years, because now things are very complicated. We also discussed some small aspects regarding the fact that we would like a substantial reduction from the state subsidy, because for me, as a Social Democrat, it's absolutely revolting to know that the PSD receives 3 million euro from the budget. Those 3 million, as a Social Democrat, I would have used for hospitals, for schools, for something else. We said we would discuss it next week," Ponta explained.
