President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday evening stated that the Social Democratic Party (PSD), while chaired by Liviu Dragnea, became an "anti-European, anti-justice, anti-investment, anti-business party."
Asked by the journalists how he comments the statements made by Liviu Dragnea at the National Council of the PSD, Iohannis responded: "This discourse allows only sad conclusions, especially for the PSD, but also said for Romania. This discourse shows clearly, categorically, quite visibly that, under Dragnea, the PSD became an anti-European, anti-justice, anti-investment, anti-business party. It's sad, very sad, because, on the other hand, all the polls, all the discussions, show us that Romanians are pro-Europeans, they are people who want jobs, a fair justice, Romanians very much want a rule of law. And here it is that, the PSD, under Dragnea's leadership, is now in opposition to the Romanians. This is the result that should give us a lot to think about, definitely, I am not the only who is sad because of this. The fact that in 2018 Romania, unfortunately, started to discuss publicly if we should grant amnesty and pardon to politicians, criminals, to the corrupted people is hard to imagine after 29 years since the Revolution, when we fought precisely for our rights, for our liberties, for a rule of law state and for an European type of democracy, it shows that this party is not on the path that most Romanians want for Romania."
