Turcan: PSD remains obviously the biggest enemy of democracy

PSD remains obviously the biggest enemy of democracy, PNL deputies' leader Raluca Turcan said on Thursday. 

"So predictable for the PSD. I wonder where are you going? To support your leader on the steps of the DNA? "PSD remains obviously the biggest enemy of democracy and as intolerant of freedom of expression as it was in the 1990s. It is clear for the whole country that the leaders of the current ruling coalition are running in a direction opposed to Romania. The actions of this Government are increasingly directed against the national interest. It governs against the citizens and the defiance and the arrogance you have come to prove have reached level hard to imagine. Absent Mr Dragnea and Tariceanu, Mr. Tudose, dear colleagues, there have been arrogant people with criminal files, but none of them dared, as you did, to change laws and rules to get rid of justice or possible sentences," Turcan said at the debate of the censure motion. 

She added that Dragnea, Tariceanu and Tudose want to turn back time "to practices and ways of operating before joining the European Union," but the country will not tolerate such a thing. 

"You live with the illusion that you can fill all public positions with illiterate and uneducated people, that you can change laws to get rid of your own files, that you can give state property to ridiculous prices, but your calculations are wrong and you will be held accountable for what you are doing (...) 

No enemy of Romania would have been able to act more efficiently against the country's interest than you are doing. Political crime is when you hear the convict ones, at the level of the parliamentary committees. Why don't you move parliamentary committees directly to Jilava [Prison] if you are more concerned with the convict ones than the people, if you are more concerned with fictitious hearings than with making laws for the people? No leader of the majority, no minister, no MEP took a stand when, in a Securitate-like way, non-governmental organizations were attacked, when laws to turn their life into a nightmare were initiated," she said.
