President Klaus Iohannis said the rally the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) is planning to organize this Saturday is an "inane, purely populist approach."
Social Democrat leader and Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Liviu Dragnea announced on Monday that a protest rally against long-standing abuse and the breach of rule of law principles will be organized on Saturday as of 20:00 hrs.
The decision was taken in the PSD National Executive Committee (CExN).
"We are expecting all those who wish to live in a free country to join (...), due to the looming perspective that a huge toxic propaganda causes an illegitimate, obscure, underground entity to parasite on the state's institutions, to influence major decisions in an occult manner, to allow for abuses (..), allow for tens of thousands of destinies to be broken," the PSD Chairman said at the end of the CExN meeting.
