Former President Traian Basescu told Digi24 on Monday that he would have submitted a “honest” report on the Romanian authorities to annul the presidential elections of 2024 if they were still in Cotroceni today. On this occasion, he resumed the accusation that the election was not canceled because of Călin Georgescu, but because the PSD had no “representative” in the second round, in which Georgescu and Elena Lasconi had entered.
Asked how he would have approached Trump if he was president of Romania today, Basescu replied: “First of all, I would send a report on the reality of the elections, but an honest one, even though I should say,” brother Trump, I made a big mistake canceling the elections, I put them again on the rails and we will have free elections. “
“I can tell you that this is vital to happen, not to try to lie because it is known what is the reality with us, and in the strategic partnership for the 21st century, which we agreed with President Obama, one of the obligations assumed by both states is a state of law. It is entered as an obligation in our strategic partnership. I received an information, like all the allies, an official report from Washington, which were the events, as they were solved, ”continued Traian Basescu.
With such a report, added the former head of the Romanian state, “You open the door, then you go to talk, but everything is that the ratio is not a lie. “
“Because, for example, as far as I'm concerned, I will never believe that the reason for the cancellation of the elections was Călin Georgescu. I consider it a charlatan, but it was not the reason for the cancellation of the elections. And I invite you to do an exercise-if it were in round 2 Ciolacu and Călin Georgescu, I would not have a question? I go out to a solution, so I gave up a response, other than the one who comes naturally.
On December 6, the Constitutional Court decided to annul the presidential elections based on the reports presented by the intelligence services in the Supreme Defense Council of the country, invoking among others the need to exclude state or non-state interference. In a press conference on December 18, former President Klaus Iohannis said that Russia was the state involved in the Romanian presidentials.
After the victory in the US elections, Biden Administration officials criticized the Romanian authorities to cancel the presidential poll, offering our country as a negative example regarding democratic standards.
