There is no danger of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), major at rule in a collation with the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), PSD national leader Liviu Dragnea said Thursday, adding that he hopes the same is true for ALDE as well.
In reply to a question in an interview with Romania TV private broadcaster, Dragnea mentioned that he does not believe the scenario of PSD's now defunct ruling alliance with the National Liberal Party and then Conservative Party in a Social Liberal Union (USL), will not repeat in the case of the PSD-ALDE ruling coalition.
"I do not think so. That would not mean some or more would like that to happen. Perhaps it is the legitimate wish of some parties. I do not know whether or not institutions are implicated here, but, beyond external signs, the hardest thing to do is manage the power you win by vote, and by the legitimate vote there is no danger of PSD splitting up; most definitely not. I hope the same is true for ALDE as well," said Dragnea.
He went on to say that he has done his best for the relationships between the ALDE co-chairs to be the best.
"I have done my best, and I continue to do so as a good friend so that the relationships between Mr Tariceanu and Mr Daniel Constantin will be good. And I hope they will last, because to us it is important that thing inside ALDE be all right, because we have heard some rumours lately, in the past days that hopefully will not be true. As far as PSD is concerned, there is no danger of it splitting up," said Dragnea.
Asked about the rumours he alluded to, Dragnea said they regard ALDE co-chair Daniel Constantin. "The Mr Daniel Constantin has allegedly met several people, that he allegedly wants to take some steps. I have spoken with Mr Daniel Constantin; he told me he has no such ideas, at least that is what he told me," Dragnea added.
