The PSD (Social Democratic Party) chairman Marcel Ciolacu sent a letter to the president of Romania on Tuesday telling him that the social democrats will not be present at the consultations at the Cotroceni Palace because they will only mimic the principle of consultation.
He added that the PSD refuses to participate in this "simulation".
"We refuse to validate through our presence this political circus that is beginning to resemble more and more the CDR (Democratic Convention of Romania) government from 1996 to 2000. Instead, we will make a decisive opposition in the Romanian Parliament and use all political, legal and constitutional means to defend the interests of the citizens who gave us their trust in the last elections," Ciolacu added.
