PNL's Turcan: Ciolos' strongest contribution to Opposition's action, have documents of promised party released

The strongest contribution that the founding president of the Romania Together Movement, Dacian Ciolos might have to the Opposition's action, would be to have the promised party's documents released and to stop attacking the other political formations that have daily at the forefront of the anti-Dragnea (Liviu Dragnea, leader of the Social Democratic Party, major at rule, ed.n.) fight, leader of the Liberal deputies Raluca Turcan said on Sunday.

"The strongest contribution Mr. Ciolos might have to the Opposition's action would be to have, once and for all, the documents of the much-promised party released and stop attacking the other parties that have been every day, not sparingly or between two flights, at the forefront of the anti-Dragnea fight for defending democracy in Romania," Turcan wrote on Facebook.

She considers "it may have been useful" for Dacian Ciolos to specify on how many votes on behalf of his party the Opposition can rely on at a possible censure motion.

"As the leader of the PNL [National Liberal party, ed.n.] group in the Chamber of Deputies, I have discussed with several colleagues in the opposition trying to figure out with whom Mr Ciolos is negotiating the overthrow of the PSD-ALDE [Social Democratic Party, major at rule, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, minor at rule, ed.n.] government. Any vote would be of great help. It might have been useful for Mr Ciolos to specify on how many votes we can rely on his behalf for a possible censure motion. Thus, we can urge the lodging of a motion leading to the dismissal of the incompetent government maneuvered by Liviu Dragnea (including the removal from office of Mrs Carmen Dan, incompetent and abusive minister, former prefect of Teleorman at the time of the Ciolos government)," Turcan mentioned.

She added that, although she has seen and heard a lot in politics, she still does not understand how anyone can negotiate the removal of a government having neither a parliamentary group nor a party.

On Sunday, Ciolos said that the PNL finds itself within the old political class sphere and obstinately refuses to reform itself.

"Unfortunately, I say with great regret, PNL finds itself within the old political class sphere and obstinately refuses to reform itself and join us in a profound reformation project of the Romanian society. A project focusing on welfare. They are waiting for PSD [Social Democratic Party, major at rule, ed.n.] to fall naturally and take their place. The experience in 1996 with CDR [the Romanian Democratic Convention, ed.n.] and in 2004 with DA Alliance showed us that this model does not work," Ciolos wrote on Facebook.
